From a5dc8300df75e8b8384b4c82225f1e4a0b4d9b55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 18:24:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] scripts/decode_stacktrace: warn when modpath is needed but is unset When a user tries to parse a symbol located inside a module he must have modpath set. Otherwise, decode_stacktrace won't be able to parse the symbol correctly. Right now the failure is silent and easily missed by the user. What's worse is that by the time the user realizes what happened (or someone on LKML asks him to add the modpath and re-run), he might have already got rid of the vmlinux/modules.
