Wislist for Linux from the mold linker's POV
(kernel.org)
I'm the author of the mold linker. I developed mold for speed, and I think I achieved that goal. As a ballpark number, mold can create a 1 GiB executable in a second on a recent 32-core x86 machine. While developing mold, I noticed that the kernel's performance occasionally became a bottleneck. I’d like to share these observations as a wishlist so that kernel developers can at least recognize potential areas for improvement.
