From 65ba6fa439e7c3cbf97de9dce9e7a3390ae2638c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:18:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] scripts: objdiff: Ignore debug info when comparing If the kernel is configured to be built with debug symbols, or has bug tables, comparing files may not work if line numbers change. This makes comparing object files with these options harder to do. Let's strip out the debug info and drop the __bug_table here so that we don't see false positives. There may be other things to drop later, and it may be architecture specific, but this works for me with my ARM64 build.
