is it Ok to strip kernel modules?
Hello, Freebsd-current. Why our kernel, even built without DEBUG, is not stripped? It could sabe 1.5Mb out of 8Mb for router-like (network, wifi, some netgraph, UFS, NFS and USB) kernel... But maybe, here are some reasons not to strip it? Assume, I don't want use dtrace, ktrace and kernel debugger. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov l...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You could strip the modules no harm done. Bests On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 7:14 PM, Lev Serebryakov l...@freebsd.org wrote: Hello, Freebsd-current.

If you strip the kernel, then you won’t be able to use anything that opens up kernel memory to read answers out of it. I think this is all wrapped in ksyms, so you could grep for it. Be thankful that ifconfig no longer is on this list :) Warner ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
