Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding. On x86_64, this shrinks the size from 144 to 128 bytes. As an example: $ size drivers/mfd/as3722.o (Before) text data bss dec hex filename 9441 680 16 10137 2799 drivers/mfd/as3722.o $ size drivers/mfd/as3722.o (After) text data bss dec hex filename 9345 680 16 10041 2739 drivers/mfd/as3722.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/bb631974888dfe1af593b6280cf30fb913d2d1a4.1676365116.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
