linux

• SLOB and SLAB are deprecated; use SLUB instead
• bsdtar patch: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T/
• INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 for make install
• Check linux/kernel/gen_kheaders.sh
• Check linux/scripts/package/buildtar
• modules.*.bin and modules.pcimap should be automatically generated
• Check CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER for hotplug
• Consider stripping the kernel with:

strip --strip-debug -o vmlinux.stripped vmlinux

• To strip kernel modules use INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 (which does a --strip-debug):

make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1

• Do not use INSTALL_MOD_STRIP="--strip-all" as it breaks the modules
