Unfortunately not -- we've just tried on the 6.1.33 that's the current alpine lts kernel, but I cannot say since when this started because we've just enabled BTF recently. Alpine also doesn't seem to keep old versions of apk files on its mirrors so while it probably has been happening since it got enabled I don't know how to check, and the commit enabling BTF has been done without a MR so there's no test log that'd allow seeing the package size either :/ > also link for used config would be great alpine has two configs which both exhibit the issue (raw file link on commit before removing BTF): https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/raw/749ee7117e1437b7ab3ef2590f7f2e3558fda3ef/main/linux-lts/virt.ppc64le.config Size difference for linux-virt: 219 MiB -> 47 MiB https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/raw/749ee7117e1437b7ab3ef2590f7f2e3558fda3ef/main/linux-lts/lts.ppc64le.config Size difference for linux-lts: 306 MiB -> 74 MiB We just disabled BTF for this arch for now, I honestly won't have time to dig further short term as I'm not that involved in this issue and day job is busy right now.
