Subject: [PATCH v6 07/30] objtool: Disassemble instruction on warning or backtrace
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:53:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121095340.464045-8-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121095340.464045-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>

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