From 5bbb9f753afe213aebc8dba30c7e2dbb73616b79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 11:53:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] scripts: add stackdelta script This adds a simple perl script for reading two files as produced by the stackusage script and computing the changes in stack usage. For example: $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/old.su CC=gcc-4.7 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/new.su CC=gcc-5.0 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/{old,new}.su | sort -k5,5g shows that gcc 5.0 generally produces less stack-hungry code than gcc 4.7. Obviously, the script can also be used for measuring the effect of commits, .config tweaks or whatnot.
