Title:
[SRU] Please enable frame-pointer for xserver-xorg-video-nouveau on
Noble
Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau source package in Noble:
New
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
In order to help developers with profiling, Ubuntu enabled frame-
pointers for packages in the main archive.
https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-performance-engineering-with-frame-
pointers-by-default
The `Affects` packages were missed due to the packaging issues. These
have been fixed on Oracular and can now be ported to Noble.
[ Test Plan ]
Look at the DW_AT_producer in the associated debug ELF file for flags.
-fno-omit-frame-pointer should be present after the fix.
The following scripts can be used as a reference
https://gist.github.com/julian-klode/85e55553f85c410a1b856a93dce77208
https://gist.github.com/julian-klode/95818246eaef0ac6a54588f7f368e25c
You can also check the build logs for build flags like `-fno-omit-
frame-pointer`.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* A distribution-specific patch was applied to fix the build with security
hardening flags enabled.
* The packaging fixes have enabled other security hardening flags. This could
have unintended effects.
[ Other Info ]
changes in dpkg have been made to make sure frame-pointers are not
enabled on s390x and ppc64el.
