[PATCH v6 8/8] x86-64: select HAVE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Mon Jun 17 2019 - 18:25:55 EST


This allows reducing the size of struct _ddebug from 56 to 40
bytes. There's one such struct for each pr_debug(), netdev_debug()
etc. in a CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel. An Ubuntu 4.15 kernel has about
2550 entries in the __verbose section of vmlinux, amounting to ~40K
saved. (Modules also become smaller, but it's harder to quantify how
much that yields at runtime.)

For comparison, the __bug_table section of that Ubuntu kernel is 75576
bytes, i.e. 6298 12-byte bug_entrys, so GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS
saves ~50K.

Due to the build-time sanity checks in asm-generic/dynamic_debug.h, we
need to add another #undef to vclock_gettime.c.
