The fast kernel headers tree
Monday January 3, 2022. 12:02 AM , from LWN.net
Kernel developer Ingo Molnar has been quiet for a while; now we know why.
He has just announced a massive set of patches (touching over half of the files in the kernel tree) reworking how header files are handled. The fast-headers tree offers a +50-80% improvement in absolute kernel build performance on supported architectures, depending on the config. This is a major step forward in terms of Linux kernel build efficiency & performance. A justified question would be: why on Earth 2,200 commits?? It seems likely that interesting conversations will follow; stay tuned.
