https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D279122 Bug ID: 279122 Summary: /boot/kernel/kernel: "not stripped" Product: Base System Version: 14.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: egypcio@FreeBSD.org I'm running stripped 'kernel' for quite a few years without ANY sort of iss= ue. I use them on physical and virtual machines - also, on "normal" deployments= of FreeBSD or serving mfs images (compressed, or not). So, is there a very good reason why we (officially) do not strip the FreeBSD kernel? - at least on STABLE or RELEASE versions. Once I am pretty much far from being an expert on that level, I would love = to get more input about it from anyone that would be keen to explain that to me (and others here). - shall this kind of topic be added to our Handbook (or developers documentation) as well? >From a FreeBSD live system, here we have some fair outputs of what is meant= by this PR: root@:~ # mkdir /tmp/base root@:~ # mount /dev/gpt/base0 /tmp/base/ root@:~ # tar xf /usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz -C /tmp/ usr/bin/strip root@:~ # cp -a /boot/kernel/kernel /tmp/base/kernel=20 root@:~ # /tmp/usr/bin/strip /tmp/base/kernel *** 14.0-RELEASE root@:~ # uname -abiUK FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE #0 releng/14.0-n265380-f9716eee8= ab4: Fri Nov 10 05:57:23 UTC 2023=20=20=20=20 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64 GENERIC 1400097 1400097 de04db27d4d136c96cba9e384c8bc9e7b337a2c5 root@:~ # file /boot/kernel/kernel /tmp/base/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /red/herring, BuildID[sha1]=3Dde04db27d4d136c96cba9e384c8bc9e7b337a2c5, not stripped /tmp/base/kernel: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /red/herring, BuildID[sha1]=3Dde04db27d4d136c96cba9e384c8bc9e7b337a2c5, stripped root@:~ # ls -lais /boot/kernel/kernel /tmp/base/kernel 10156980 26371 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27003712 Nov 10 2023 /boot/kernel/kernel 6 23144 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23643432 May 18 08:07 /tmp/base/ker= nel *** 14.1-STABLE root@:~ # uname -abiUK FreeBSD 14.1-STABLE FreeBSD 14.1-STABLE stable/14-n267634-7b65987885da GEN= ERIC amd64 GENERIC 1401500 1401500 03870066df47c918b5678f89b12252aae1c3e94f root@:~ # file /boot/kernel/kernel /tmp/base/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /red/herring, BuildID[sha1]=3D03870066df47c918b5678f89b12252aae1c3e94f, not stripped /tmp/base/kernel: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /red/herring, BuildID[sha1]=3D03870066df47c918b5678f89b12252aae1c3e94f, stripped root@:~ # ls -laish /boot/kernel/kernel /tmp/base/kernel 10163936 28434 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 28M May 9 06:11 /boot/kernel/ker= nel 7 25200 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 25M May 18 07:49 /tmp/base/kernel --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
