Thats a kernel header so I guess the argument is that lm_sensors user space
shouldnt include it - but send me a diff

Can you send me your .config? The symbol is exported properly in -ac4,
but it seems that some .configs allow the ibmphp driver to be built,
even though they should not be.
thanks,

Is there a magic incantation I need in order to see an improvement from this?
I'm observing a slight (< 10 KB) increase from -ac3 to -ac4. Same .config, same
compiler.
I only build 2 modules; everything else is static. Perhaps Andrew's fix is for
heavy module users?

The more you build the more change it makes. The big changes are in the
cost of BUG() stuff
If you use gcc 3.0+ then you should only see a small change anyway

I think it gives about 100k size decrease IFF you have verbose BUG activated.

Wasn't that config option removed (I haven't checked...) with this patch?

The patch with it does yes. All BUG()'s are now small

[patch] x86 BUG handling
Of the latter, Andrew says: "kernel size is reduced by 90 kbytes
relative to a CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y build" and of the former: "Kernel
size is reduced by another 110 kbytes in my build."
The former is a duplicate string removal patch, and gcc >= 3 does most of
that automatically, so you won't see the much difference. The latter only
reduces kernel size compared to BUG_VERBOSE=y (and may slightly increase the
size compared the BUG_VERBOSE=n).
