---------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably because I had not installed needed DWARF support libraries and
you forgot to update this:

int show_line_range(struct line_range *lr __maybe_unused,
                    const char *module __maybe_unused)
{
        pr_warning("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported.\n");
        return -ENOSYS;
}


Fixing it up by adding the missing 'bool user'.
