About 59 MiB, so again most of the increase. It appears that BTF in modules was enabled in Linux 5.11 by <https://git.kernel.org/linus/5f9ae91f7c0dbbc4195e2a6c8eedcaeb5b9e4cbb>
So the patch that was supposed to drastically reduce the size of modules by extracting the debugging info to a separate deduplicated file, actually increased it even more? Sounds pretty ironic.
Or did the deduplication finally make BTFs reasonably small to be included by default, as they were much larger before and thus were disabled?
