For most configs, and with most recent versions of gcc, it's no longer needed. Clarify which cases need it, and only enable it for those cases. Also produce a compile-time error for the ftrace graph + mcount + '-Os' case, which will otherwise cause runtime failures. The main benefit of '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' is that it prevents an ugly prologue for functions which have aligned stacks. But removing the option also has some benefits: more readable argument saves, smaller text size, and (presumably) slightly improved performance. Here are the object size savings for 32-bit and 64-bit defconfig kernels: text data bss dec hex filename 10006710 3543328 1773568 15323606 e9d1d6 vmlinux.x86-32.before 9706358 3547424 1773568 15027350 e54c96 vmlinux.x86-32.after text data bss dec hex filename 10652105 4537576 843776 16033457 f4a6b1 vmlinux.x86-64.before 10639629 4537576 843776 16020981 f475f5 vmlinux.x86-64.after That comes out to a 3% text size improvement on x86-32 and a 0.1% text size improvement on x86-64.
