Test Build 2) New behavior if ZFS modules are *not* built with debug
symbols
goal: show failsafe/backwards compatible behavior if zfs-dksm doesn't
support/build debug symbols
and kernel build log reports missing debug symbols, and extra modules
have .gnu_debuglink.
- test packaging
- zfs not built with debug symbols (disabled manually in dkms-build if-check)
- zfs modules not present in debug package
- extra modules have .gnu_debuglink section
- (no regressions)
Test packaging, with debug symbols *not enabled* in zfs-dkms:
The debug symbols are not found (as expected),
and this case is handled without problems:
II: dkms-build installing zfs into
/home/ubuntu/dbgsym/unstable/debian/linux-image-unsigned-5.3.0-8-generic-dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/zfs
(debug symbols)
ignoring zavl.ko (missing debug symbols)
stripping zavl.ko
ignoring znvpair.ko (missing debug symbols)

II: dkms-build build zfs complete
The debug package contains the ZFS directory, but it's empty:
$ dpkg-deb -x
linux-image-unsigned-5.3.0-8-generic-dbgsym_5.3.0-8.9_amd64.ddeb
ddeb-test-disabled
$ ls
ddeb-test-disabled/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/zfs/
$
The kernel build log documents which modules do not have debug symbols,
now covering modules built with DKMS (zfs and vbox):
$ grep WARNING build.log
echo "WARNING: Missing debug symbols for module
'$module'."; \
WARNING: Missing debug symbols for module

The ZFS modules have no '.gnu_debuglink' section or any other debug
section (as expected):
$ dpkg-deb -x linux-modules-5.3.0-8-generic_5.3.0-8.9_amd64.deb
deb-modules
$ find deb-modules/ -name '*.ko' | while read ko; do objdump -h -j
.gnu_debuglink $ko >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "Module without debug link '$ko'";
done
Module without debug link

Module without debug link

$ for ko in deb-modules/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/zfs/*.ko; do
objdump -h $ko | grep debug; done
$
But all modules in 'linux-modules-extra' now have '.gnu_debuglink' sections
(except virtualbox modules which are DKMS-built without debug symbols too.)
$ dpkg-deb -x linux-modules-
extra-5.3.0-8-generic_5.3.0-8.9_amd64.deb deb-modules-extra
$ find deb-modules-extra/ -name '*.ko' | while read ko; do objdump -h
-j .gnu_debuglink $ko >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "Module without debug link
'$ko'"; done
Module without debug link
'deb-modules-extra/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/virtualbox-guest/vboxguest.ko'
Module without debug link
'deb-modules-extra/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/virtualbox-guest/vboxsf.ko'
$ find deb-modules-extra/ -name '*.ko' | wc -l
4508
The objdump disassembly is identical (no instruction changes expected
from packaging-only changes)
build1 $ for ko in
deb-modules/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/zfs/*.ko; do objdump -d $ko >
objdump_-d/$(basename $ko).log; done
build2 $ for ko in
deb-modules/lib/modules/5.3.0-8-generic/kernel/zfs/*.ko; do objdump -d $ko >
objdump_-d/$(basename $ko).log; done
$ diff -ur build1/objdump_-d/ build2/objdump_-d/
$
All 'objdump -d' files are definitely non-empty:
$ wc -l build1/objdump_-d/* build2/objdump_-d/* | sort -t / -k2,2
