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.
