[EXPERIMENT] fix: stop `emitting .debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` ### DO NOT MERGE --- A continuation of rust-lang#94181. Fixes rust-lang#48762 MCP can be found in <rust-lang/compiler-team#688>. `.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` are poorly designed and people seldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use `.debug_names` which is more concise in size and performant for name lookup.

IIRC there is a dedicated meeting where the MCPs are marked as accepted and then @apiraino closes them |

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. # Required changes `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. # Other changes Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach).

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.
The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Required changes
`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.
# Other changes
Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:
samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%)
rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%)
In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:
samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%)
rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%)
rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%)
In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions.

Proposal
Background
With
-C debuginfo=2, the debug info emitted on Linux would include two “pub” sections,.debug_pubnamesand.debug_pubtypes. These two sections are for faster name lookup in debugger, but were designed with flaws, and has been superceded by a new debug section in DWARF version 5.While they have been there since DWARF version 2, debuggers seldom make use of them. Clang doesn't emit it by default, so does GCC. GCC/GDB even have their own “enhanced” format of these pub sections, i.e.
.debug_gnu_pubnamesand.debug_gnu_pubtypes. These sections are useful only when.gdb_indexis present, and that requires an explicit flag passed in to linker invocations.Let me quote what other people have said (in an random order):
“Okay I see they are rarely useful, but why we do want to remove them?”
Because they are huge!
On
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnuwithrustc 1.76.0-nightly (dd430bc8c 2023-11-14). For example,cargobuilt in debug mode has 86 MiB of.debug_pubtypessection and 45 MiB of.debug_pubnames. They take 31% out of the entire 413 MiB for thecargobinary.click to see size of each section headers of cargo
with pub sections:
without pub sections:
Another example is a popular CLI tool ripgrep. It is 63 MiB in total in debug mode build, and pub sections made up 27% of the size, which is 17 MiB.

That is, in general. If we can remove both of these sections, the final binary size can be cut off around ~30%.
If we can remove both of the sections, conceptually the memory usage would drop a lot during linking stage, and we can save the disk usage as well.
People has suffered from OOM-killed in linking stage and I've traced down. It is usually the output binary size exceeding available RAM.
There is an issue in Rust-for-Linux calling out Rust binaries are huge and looking forward to some solutions. An existing issue in rust-lang/rust: rust-lang/rust#48762.
Change Proposal
We should turn generation of these sections off since they are not useful.
User-facing impact
If any debuggers were using these sections, initial loading of debuginfo might become slower but there should be no functional regressions (debuggers in general do not use these tables so there should not be any such performance degradation, but that is the most likely conceivable negative outcome).
It is possible that other tools use these sections for various purposes, but we do not know of any such tools at this time.
Alternative
Stabilize
-Zdwarf-version, or make DWARF version 5 the default on certain platform (presumably on Linux). Pub sections are replaced in DWARFv5 with a better, more compact and useful.debug_namessection.Mentors or Reviewers
