Second issue I am seeing seems to be related to text segment size.
I check out v5.11 and use this config:
https://gist.github.com/dvyukov/6af25474d455437577a84213b0cc9178

Then trying to boot it using:
QEMU emulator version 5.2.0 (Debian 1:5.2+dfsg-3)
$ qemu-system-riscv64 -machine virt -smp 2 -m 4G ...

It shows no output from the kernel whatsoever, even though I have
earlycon and output shows very early with other configs.
Kernel boots fine with defconfig and other smaller configs.

If I enable KASAN_OUTLINE and CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, then this config
also boots fine. Both of these options significantly reduce kernel
size. However, I can also boot the kernel without these 2 configs, if
I disable a whole lot of subsystem configs. This makes me think that
there is an issue related to kernel size somewhere in
qemu/bootloader/kernel bootstrap code.
Does it make sense to you? Can somebody reproduce what I am seeing?

Thanks
