This is the third release of the -tiny kernel tree. The aim of this
tree is to collect patches that reduce kernel disk and memory
footprint as well as tools for working on small systems. Target users
are things like embedded systems, small or legacy desktop folks, and
handhelds.
Latest release includes:
- sync against 2.6.1-rc1
- latest netdrvr patchkit
- SLOB allocator
- Andi Kleen's bloat-o-meter
- configurable tcpdiag, inetpeer, dnotify, ptrace, sysenter/vsyscall
- configurable X86 CPU feature detection
- ability to override arch CFLAGS from Kconfig
- optional uninlining of current and thread_info
- other minor tweaks
The big bit here is SLOB, which optionally replaces the SLAB allocator
and kmalloc wrappers with a traditional malloc arena and a SLAB
emulation layer. SLOB is less than a tenth the size of the SLAB code
and is considerably more space efficient with its allocations, but is
not as fast and may prove less resistant to long-term fragmentation.
Thanks to Andi Kleen, Magnus Naeslund, and various others for their
contributions and suggestions.
The patch can be found at:
http://selenic.com/tiny/2.6.1-rc1-tiny1.patch.bz2
http://selenic.com/tiny/2.6.1-rc1-tiny1-broken-out.tar.bz2
Contributions and suggestions are encouraged. In particular, it would
be helpful if people with non-x86 hardware could take a stab at
extending some of the stuff that's currently only been done for X86 to
other architectures.

Thanks. I actually cleaned up all this stuff earlier today, will
probably do another release shortly.

Suggestions? I'm rapidly exhausting a lot of the obvious candidates.
My target build at the moment is ide + ext2 + proc + ipv4 + console, and
that's currently at around 800K uncompressed, booting in a little less
than 2.5MB. Hoping to get that under 2.

Nice. I have a 386 I really should try this out on.
Of note IPv4 is about 90K compressed. And I know you can do a minimal
IPv4 stack in about 8K compressed.
My target is a minimal kernel that can be used as a bootloader. But
what I am looking for at first is to be able to turn as many things
off as possible so that we can test to see how much individual pieces
add.
If you look at ELKS or one of the old unix like kernels you can get
those down to 64K and still be usable.
I'm currently looking at removing the buffer cache, since I most
of the time I don't care about disks. This is complicated by the fact
that many of the default paths in the kernel when they don't have a
better implementation use buffer cache methods. But I'm making
headway.
Proc is one of things that frequently has loads of crap that are
not needed in a minimal setup.
Until I find more candidates to turn off I can't see any low hanging
fruit for shrinking in size.

On the side of useless ugly. But interesting in what I had to touch
the following patch is a first crude stab at removing block device
support from the kernel.
With nothing selected this gets me down to a 191K bzImage and a 323K
text segment. So for those who are not using it this is a significant
drop.
I have a fairly static target of kernel and user space in 384K so I
can fit it in a standard BIOS ROM chip. 192K would be even better,
but I have other solutions I can use in that case if I need to.

Tons of stuff here make sense only for block-based filesystems (e.g. the

Huh? They should work for network filesystems.
First thanks for the review.

Yep that sounds better and is easier to type.

remounting only makes sense for block based filesystems?
That does not sound right.
Definitely something to look into next time I get the chance.

Good catch. I did say this was a first cut that was too ugly to use.
The problem is those functions need to move out of buffer.c
I have moved them into fs-writeback.c and things still appear to work.
My method of exacting the dependencies was to remove the obvious files
