kbuild: deb-pkg: use build ID instead of debug link for dbg package
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are two ways of managing separate debug info files:

 [1] The executable contains the .gnu_debuglink section, which specifies
     the name and the CRC of the separate debug info file.

 [2] The executable contains a build ID, and the corresponding debug info
     file is placed in the .build-id directory.

We could do both, but the former, which 'make deb-pkg' currently does,
results in complicated installation steps because we need to manually
strip the debug sections, create debug links, and re-sign the modules.
Besides, it is not working with module compression.

This commit abandons the approach [1], and instead opts for [2].

Debian kernel commit de26137e2a9f ("Drop not needed extra step to add
debug links") also stopped adding debug links.
