Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add Map option to save vmlinux linker map file(s)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: inline
Message-Id: <patch.git-39444503b4d3.your-ad-here.call-01533562662-ext-6094@work.hours>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Add "Map" kbuild option, so that "make Map=1" would save vmlinux linker
map into vmlinux.map, which is quite useful during making kernel changes
related to how the kernel is composed.

KBUILD_SAVE_LINK_MAP flag is exported and architectures
supporting compressed kernel images might respect it and produce
arch/*/boot/compressed/vmlinux.map for the decompressor code as well.
