Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls (splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile). Omitting them saves space. This adds a new EXPERT config option CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE (default y) to support compiling them out. The goal is to completely compile out fs/splice along with the syscalls. To achieve this, the remaining patch-set will deal with fs/splice exports. As far as possible, the impact on other device drivers will be minimized so as to reduce the overal maintenance burden of CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE. The use of exported functions will be solved by transparently mocking them out with static inlines. Uses of the exported pipe_buf_operations struct however require direct modification in fs/fuse and net/core. The next two patches will deal with this. The last change required before fs/splice can be comipled out is making fs/nfsd aware of the lacking splice support in file-systems when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined. The bloat benefit of this patch given a tinyconfig is: add/remove: 0/16 grow/shrink: 2/5 up/down: 114/-3693 (-3579) function old new delta splice_direct_to_actor 348 416 +68 splice_to_pipe 371 417 +46 splice_from_pipe_next 107 106 -1 fdput 11 - -11 signal_pending 39 26 -13 fdget 56 42 -14 user_page_pipe_buf_ops 20 - -20 user_page_pipe_buf_steal 25 - -25 file_end_write 58 29 -29 file_start_write 68 34 -34 pipe_to_user 43 - -43 wakeup_pipe_readers 54 - -54 do_splice_to 87 - -87 ipipe_prep.part 92 - -92 opipe_prep.part 119 - -119 sys_sendfile 122 - -122 sys_sendfile64 126 - -126 sys_vmsplice 137 - -137 vmsplice_to_user 205 - -205 sys_tee 491 - -491 do_sendfile 492 - -492 vmsplice_to_pipe 558 - -558 sys_splice 1020 - -1020 Signed-off-by: Pieter Smith <pieter@boesman.nl> --- fs/splice.c | 2 ++ init/Kconfig | 10 ++++++++++ kernel/sys_ni.c | 8 ++++++++ 3 files changed, 20 insertions(+)
