Hi all,
We've noticed quite big increase of core-image-minimal build time caused by
commit
d55b7650d305ffad953dd36595ee6b9aa8df5a72 linux-yocto: Enablei debug/printk.scc
KERNEL_FEATURE on qemuall machines.
That commit only enables the following options:
CONFIG_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_EFI=y
CONFIG_TTY_PRINTK=y
And yes, that will add some size to the kernel, but I'm not seeing
similar size increases here.
If you take a look through the kernel source and build, there are
relatively few additions to the actual kernel build that change
based on those options, and most of them are runtime changes versus
build-time changes.
Here are results of /usr/bin/time -v bitbake core-image-minimal for this
and previous commits:

The total time (user time + system time) incresed by 2.72% which seems quite a
lot.
diff of tasks utime shows biggest difference in do_package* tasks. This is
probably
due to increased size of packages:

There is also quite big increase in consumed disk space by the kernel
and modules:

Any thoughts on this? Is it normal or it should be tested further and fixed?
I'm not sure that this is related to the debug printk build, but
anything that that could be increasing footprint and build time
like that should be looked into.
Without messing with the oe-core commit that enabled the feature, has
someone done a build, gone into the kernel .config, disabled the options
and then rebuilt ? I'd start there to rule out that the option is
actually doing something that significant to the build itself.
.. but I can't say much more than that, since as you can see by the
commit, I'm not on the sign-off list, so I don't have all the background.
