[PATCH] rust: optimize rust symbol generation for SeqFile
From: Kunwu Chan
Date: Thu Mar 13 2025 - 05:52:19 EST
From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When build the kernel using the llvm-18.1.3-rust-1.85.0-x86_64
with ARCH=arm64, the following symbols are generated:
$nm vmlinux | grep ' _R'.*SeqFile | rustfilt
ffff8000805b78ac T <kernel::seq_file::SeqFile>::call_printf
This Rust symbol is trivial wrappers around the C functions seq_printf.
It doesn't make sense to go through a trivial wrapper for its functions,
so mark it inline.
After doing so, the above symbol will not in output.
