ELF Improvements
|
2016-07-23 16:48:50 -04:00
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-07-26 15:36:28 -04:00
|
|
|
* New ``--time-trace`` option records a time trace file that can be viewed in
|
|
|
|
|
chrome://tracing. The file can be specified with ``--time-trace-file``.
|
|
|
|
|
Trace granularity can be specified with ``--time-trace-granularity``.

|
|
|
* For ARM architectures the default max page size was increased to 64k.
|
|
|
|
|
This increases compatibility with systems where a non standard page
|
|
|
|
|
size was configured. This also is inline with GNU ld defaults.

|
|

|
|
are no longer supported.
|
|
|
