RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: debugedit-5.0-4.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.The `find-debuginfo` script in `debugedit` now supports the `-q` (`--quiet`) flag With this update, you can use the `find-debuginfo` script's `-q` (`--quiet`) flag in the `debugedit` utility to silence non-error output from the script.

Description Prarit Bhargava 2023-03-10 18:47:28 UTC 
Description of problem: find-debuginfo.sh outputs a single line for each binary which results in a massive amount of output in the build logs.  This can be up to 61% of the entire build log in the case of the kernel.

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/6.2.0/0.rc5.20230123git2475bf0250de.38.fc38/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

commit b8ac71d9f882 adds a 'quiet' flag to suppress this output.  This makes viewing and interpreting logs much easier.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):debugedit-5.0-3.el9 


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at a kernel log.
2. 
3.

Actual results: 
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/6.2.0/0.rc5.20230123git2475bf0250de.38.fc38/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

Expected results: Less noise in the log.

This change has been made in Fedora (both in debugedit and the kernel).  The kernel MR is https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2357
Comment 1 Mark Wielaard 2023-03-13 10:46:11 UTC 
This should be a small easy backport which has seen testing in fedora.
It does depend on rpmbuild actually using debugedit, which isn't the case yet.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2166383
(Setting risk to medium because of that, otherwise it would be low)
Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2023-03-28 14:54:09 UTC 
Note that even though this fix is now in debugedit-5.0-4.el9 if you want to use it in combination with rpmbuild you also need a fix for bug #2166383 (rpm-build should use debugedit package)
Comment 4 Martin Cermak 2023-04-18 15:16:46 UTC 
Thanks Mark.  Indeed, my rhel9 system has both:

9 x86_64 # rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh
rpm-build-4.16.1.3-22.el9.x86_64
9 x86_64 # rpm -qf /usr/bin/find-debuginfo.sh
debugedit-5.0-4.el9.x86_64
9 x86_64 #

Ive identified make as a component requiring debugedit and tested with it (because kernel seems like a too big beast for the test).  The amount of excessive log entries in case of build of make isn't really huge.  In fact it is just one log entry.  But that's good enough to test this.  I've symlinked all the find-debuginfo{,.sh} files together and then did one make build with quiet=false and another one with quiet=true.  Rebuild of make-4.3-7.el9.src.rpm shows a build log difference like this:

---
> Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qxIme6
1234a1235,1236
> extracting debug info from /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/make-4.3-7.el9.x86_64/usr/bin/make
> original debug info size: 844kB, size after compression: 764kB
1245c1247
< Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qkbH87
---

So, LGTM.  But care must be taken that rpm-build has its own version of the script and that's not patched yet as of now (bz2166383).
