Greatly reduce kernel closure size Based on access analysis with strace, I determined an essentially minimal required set of files from the kernel source that was needed to build all current kernel packages on 3.10, which ultimately resulted in keeping 30M of source. Generalizing from that minimal set, which required ad-hoc specifications of which headers outside of include/ and arch/*/include and which files in the scripts/ directory should be kept, to a policy of keeping all non-arch-specific headers that aren't part of the drivers/ directory and the entire scripts/ directory added an additional 17M, but there was nothing in the analysis that indicated that that ad-hoc specification was at all complete so I think the extra hit is worth the likely greater compatibility. For reference, we now keep: * All headers that are NOT in arch/${notTargetArch}/include or drivers/ * The scripts/ directory * Makefile * arch/${targetArch}/Makefile IMO the most likely cause of future problems are the headers in drivers/, but hopefully they won't actually be needed as they add 50M Ideally kernel packages would only use include and arch/${targetArch}/include, but alas this is observably not the case. master: * $out * size: 234M * references-closure: linux-headers, glibc, attr, acl, zlib, gcc, coreutils, perl, bash merge-kernel-builds: * $out * size: 152M * references-closure: none * $dev * size: 57M * references-closure: linux-headers, glibc, zlib, gcc So even with the non-minimal set we still beat out master. Keeping the drivers headers would make us only slightly bigger. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
