Subject: make deb-pkg: Does not strip debug symbols when compressing modules
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2023 21:10:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZXthQYablvopq0su@eldamar.lan> (raw)
Hi
When using (only tested with XZ compression, but the others should
behave similarly) CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ=y to compress the modules,
it looks that the debug symbols are not striped.
Building with the attached test configuration results in packages:
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 8.9M Dec 14 20:47 linux-headers-6.7.0-rc5+_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 75M Dec 14 20:48 linux-image-6.7.0-rc5+-dbg_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 1014M Dec 14 20:47 linux-image-6.7.0-rc5+_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 1.3M Dec 14 20:47 linux-libc-dev_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-1_amd64.deb
This is odd, the linux-image-6.7.0-rc5+ package has a size of almost
1G and the modules are not stripped.
Switching the values instread to
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ is not set
the packages are again produced correctly:
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 8.9M Dec 14 20:59 linux-headers-6.7.0-rc5+_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-2_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 819M Dec 14 21:00 linux-image-6.7.0-rc5+-dbg_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-2_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 73M Dec 14 20:59 linux-image-6.7.0-rc5+_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-2_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 build build 1.3M Dec 14 20:59 linux-libc-dev_6.7.0-rc5-00042-g88035e5694a8-2_amd64.deb
