I ran into a linker warning in XFS that originates from a mismatch between libelf, binutils and objtool when certain files in the kernel are built with "gcc -g": x86_64-linux-ld: fs/xfs/xfs_trace.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info After some discussion, nobody could identify why xfs sets this flag here. CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG used to enable lots of unrelated settings, but now its main purpose is to enable extra consistency checks and assertions that are unrelated to the debug info. Remove the Makefile logic to set the flag here. If anyone relies on the debug info, this can simply be enabled again with the global CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO option.
