Actually I cannot do mixed listing using objdump, as my objdump
complains in the middle of vmlinux:
objdump: Dwarf Error: mangled line number section.

and dumps no more code afterwards. (And core.c is after the error happens.)

Nevertheless, I did:
gdb vmlinux-4.4.2-3-default -ex 'disass /m try_to_wake_up' --batch >
try_to_wake_up.mixed
gdb vmlinux-4.4.2-3-default -ex 'disass /m ttwu_stat' --batch
>ttwu_stat.mixed

And both will appear at:
