Subject: [RFC PATCH] x86/Kconfig: Fix allyesconfig
Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2025 18:13:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414011345.2602656-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
64-bit allyesconfig builds fail with
x86_64-linux-ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
Bisect points to commit 6f110a5e4f99 ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build
testing") as the responsible commit. Reverting that patch does indeed
fix the problem. Further analysis shows that disabling SLUB_TINY enables
CONFIG_KASAN, and that CONFIG_KASAN is responsible for the image size
increase.
Solve the test build problem by selectively disabling CONFIG_KASAN for
'allyesconfig' build tests of 64-bit X86 builds.
Fixes: 6f110a5e4f99 ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing")

RFC: Maybe there is a better solution for the problem.
Even increasing the maximum image size to 1.5GB did not help.
Also, maybe there is a better way to determine if this is an
"allyesconfig" build test.
On top of that, I am not sure if the "Fixes" tag is really
appropriate.
