Hallo, Should we add the dwarf2 unwinder or not for 10.3? Kernel oopses use approximate backtracing and also report old left over garbage on the stack. In some cases this can make oopses very hard to read. Jan Beulich ported the NLKD dwarf2 unwinder to the kernel to solve this problem. It was merged to mainline, but due to some early teething problems Linus drew it out. In the end it was relatively stable though. I'm wondering if we should add it to the opensuse 10.3 kernel anyways. Advantages - Better backtraces for kernel oopses. Saves developer time which is very valuable. - Would help testing it further Disadvantages: - Might still have bugs (but in this case we fall back and should not lose any information) - Increases kernel binary size in memory by ~10% for the unwind information.
