text data bss dec hex filename 9504047 911620 1313065 11728732 b2f75c vmlinux-after So about 4K extra. In the kernel I built (tiger_defconfig) there are 27 call-sites for __ia64_sync_icache_dcache ... so that amounts to about 150 bytes each ... or close to 10 bundles. > Also, is it OK to call a function from all places where a set_pte() is > being done? I'd hope so, but it's a really low-level operation... These are all from normal-looking C code ... so RSE must be valid. What other weird things might be be doing that would make it a problem for the new code to make a function call? -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
