And the additional 0's should compress well so I'm not sure the additional size is that much relevant here.I am not sure why compression is mentioned here. I don't think section in .ko files are compressed.There is the option to compress the whole .ko files, and it's commonly used.
Hi Michal, I am aware that there is an option but I am surprised to hear that it's commonly used. I don't think that's enabled by default, and certainly Debian/Ubuntu does not have it enabled. Best, Gary
