I am preparing to move the standalone kernel debug data out of /boot/kernel/ into /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/, mirroring the approach used for userland debug data. This significantly reduces the boot partition size requirement, and is a step towards supporting the installation of kernel debug data ony when required. LLDB and GDB automatically search for debug data under /usr/lib/debug/ so this change should be transparent from an end-user perspective. The change can be reviewed in Phabricator at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1006 and can be fetched as a unified diff from https://people.freebsd.org/~emaste/patches/D1006.diff This does not change any defaults or knobs: kernel debug files are still built by default, and may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS=YES in /etc/src.conf. I hope to rationalize this with userland debug in a later step. Note that the change renames the intermediate and debug data files to be consistent with userland debug data: in the build directory the kernel with debug data included is now named kernel.full, and and kernel.debug is the standalone debug data file. I plan to merge this in a few days if there are no issues reported in further review or testing. -EdReceived on Tue Oct 28 2014 - 23:21:01 UTC
