bloat-o-meter is a bit off then, since buildman shows: u-boot: add: 243/-17, grow: 18/-17 bytes: 65723/-8480 (57243) (Please use buildman for the size comparisons in the future). And in both cases, there's a pretty big non-removal of code I was expecting since overall we're replacing a lot of functionality, not just enabling new functionality? If I'm wrong about that and we're doing both, please separate out "enables new features" from "feature parity with legacy" in commit updates to qemu_arm64 since buildman's handy "show the delta for each commit in a series" is quite helpful in spotting when we changed more/less than expected. And in this case perhaps qemu_army64 wasn't fully enabling stuff before? sandbox changes by only ~16Kib which is much better and I see pkcs7 and x509 related removals in the size comparison. Another note is that qemu-x86_64, which should be similar in EFI feature function only grows by 129 bytes. Which isn't zero, but isn't bad. I haven't done a for-each-commit build, but if we have generic bugfixes here, we should split those out. For example, I do see we're dropping some legacy hash related code, but I'd want to dig a bit to make sure it's all of it. And for v4 I'm not doing a world build comparison with mbedTLS being default rather than legacy since I think the logic there is where some of the Kconfig issues I mentioned are from and so I'm not confident the results would look good. But for v5, please pick some arbitrary platforms and switch them over and check the size change there as well. Thanks! -- Tom
