link time analysis for the kernel.

[Carter Cheng]

Hi,

There are some detaills about the current procedures for linking the kernel
that I am unfamiliar with. My understanding is that GCC and Clang both have
the ability to do link time analysis and transforms on code but is it
possible to write link time passes that will run on the kernel since the
linking phase is a bit different (i.e. doesnt produce an ELF file)?

Regards,

Carter.
