From b6472776816af1ed52848c93d26e3edb3b17adab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:22:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] modules: no need to align .modinfo strings gcc aligns strings as a performance consideration for those cases where strings are being used a lot. Their use is not performance critical, and hence it seems better to save some space.
