[PATCH v3] kbuild: add debug package to pacman PKGBUILD

From: Jose Fernandez
Date: Sat Aug 24 2024 - 18:09:48 EST


Add a new debug package to the PKGBUILD for the pacman-pkg target. The
debug package includes the non-stripped vmlinux file with debug symbols
for kernel debugging and profiling. The file is installed at
/usr/src/debug/${pkgbase}, with a symbolic link at
/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux. The debug package is built
by default.

v2->v3:
- Remove unnecessary mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/src/debug/${pkgbase}"
- Use the new _prologue() function [1]
- Add symbolic link to /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux
- Remove the dependency on the headers package
v1->v2:
- Use the new PACMAN_EXTRAPACKAGES [2] variable to allow users to disable the
debug package if desired, instead of always including it.
