This results in additional disk usage by the build, as well as the kernel modules. Since the kernel has no use for this, this section is discarded. Add -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to suppress generation of .eh_frame section. Note that our VDSOs need .eh_frame, but are not affected by this change since our VDSO code are all in assembly. Reported-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
