CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED: Compressed debugging information

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED:

• prompt: Compressed debugging information
• type: bool
• depends on: ($( CONFIG_cc-option,-gz = CONFIG_zlib )) && ($( CONFIG_ld-option,--compress-debug-sections = CONFIG_zlib ))
• defined in lib/Kconfig.debug
• found in Linux kernels: 5.8–5.19, 6.0–6.1, 6.1+HEAD

Help text

Compress the debug information using zlib. Requires GCC 5.0+ or Clang 5.0+, binutils 2.26+, and zlib.

Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in size of their debug .deb packages with this config set, due to the debug info being compressed with zlib, then the object files being recompressed with a different compression scheme. But this is still preferable to setting $KDEB_COMPRESS to "none" which would be even larger.
