cr:/speicher/src/u4ac9 $ ls -l mm/shmem.o*
-rw-r--r-- 1 cr users 154652 Mai 16 19:27 mm/shmem.o-tmpfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 cr users 180764 Mai 16 19:24 mm/shmem.o+tmpfs
cr:/speicher/src/u4ac9 $ ls -l fs/ramfs/ramfs.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 cr users 141452 Mai 16 19:27 fs/ramfs/ramfs.o

So CONFIG_TMPFS adds 26k and ramfs 140k.

Greetings
