    kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST · 12b13835
    Linus Torvalds authored
    It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile
    coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind
    of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build
    take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config".
    
    There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up
    with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that
    the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal
    coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this
    simple one-liner.
    
    DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good
    IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little
    upside for the common use.
