Hi Masahiro,

I wondered why my generated linux-image-db Debian packages were so big
when I use GCC toolchain instead of LLVM toolchain.

It turned out I mixed both...

   KBUILD_AFLAGS += -Wa,-gdwarf-2

...together with...

   DEBUG_CFLAGS += -gdwarf-4

...when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4=y is set.

So I hacked up something like the following to prevent this:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 24a4c1b97bb0..e7a8e47b0e34 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile

          Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
          of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.

NOTE: This is on top of Linux v5.8 vanilla.

NOTE-2: When building with LLVM toolchain v11.0.0-rc1+ and especially
with LLVM_IAS=1 (and LLVM=1) DWARF version 4 is a good choice.

For details see below links.

Thoughts?

Hi,

while playing with Clang-CFI I needed this patch to fix these warnings:

Can you please review?

Some more informations to clarify this is really needed.

I switched over to DWARF version 4 when dealing with Clang-IAS
(integrated assembler).
And saw similar problems.

This was always with...

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4=y

There are 156 places here on x86 64bit...

[ Clang-CFI ]

$ grep '\-Wa,-gdwarf-4' build-log_5.9.0-rc2-5-amd64-llvm11-cfi.txt | wc -l
156

[ Clang-LTO ]

$ grep '\-Wa,-gdwarf-4' build-log_5.9.0-rc2-6-amd64-clang-lto.txt | wc -l
156

Hi Masahiro,

I would send a proper patch with all related information when you
agree with the handling of CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_AS_DWARF{2,4}.

Just as note:
I tested this also with GNU/ld (BFD) version 2.35 with preliminary
DWARF4 support.

Thanks.

Regards,
