Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 08/17] objtool: Disassemble instruction on warning or backtrace
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 16:56:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619145659.1377970-9-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250619145659.1377970-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>

When an instruction warning (WARN_INSN) or backtrace (BT_INSN) is issued,
disassemble the instruction to provide more context.
