Attaching the debdiffs for zfs-linux/spl-linux on X/B/D/E, for documentation purposes; will send testing/notes later.
Independently of the kernel packaging approach determined to enable debug symbols on ZFS/SPL modules, these kind of patches for the userspace packages are be required anyway, and correctly performed that task when building with DKMS. So I'll probably move forward with their SRU request soon, in the benefit of having this available sooner if required (i.e. so users/engineers in need of debug symbols may just rebuild with DKMS using this, and be able to investigate.) ** Attachment added: "lp1840704_debdiffs.tar" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1840704/+attachment/5285635/+files/lp1840704_debdiffs.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840704 Title: ZFS kernel modules lack debug symbols Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The ZFS kernel modules aren't built with debug symbols, which introduces problems/issues for debugging/support. Patches are required in: 1) linux kernel packaging, to add infrastructure to enable/build/strip/package debug symbols on DKMS. (this is sufficient with zfs-linux now in Eoan.) 2) zfs-linux and spl-linux, for the stable releases, which need a few patches to enable debug symbols (add option './configure --enable-debuginfo' and '(ZFS|SPL)_DKMS_ENABLE_DEBUGINFO' to dkms.conf.) Initially submitting the kernel patchset for Unstable, for review/feedback. It backports nicely into B/D/E, should it be accepted; for X (doesn't use DKMS builds) a simpler patch for the moment (until it does) works. The zfs/spl-linux patches are ready, to be submitted once the approach used by the kernel package settles.
