Btw, can I ask the kernel test robot to do the same thing I asked
syzbot to do - namely get better backtrace annotations?

It requires debug info in the kernel (but I think DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
is sufficient, no need for the full one that blows sizes up a lot),
but it makes things _soo_ much easier to read. Not just because of
line numbers, but particularly with inlining information.

It's easy enough to do: just run the kernel output through
"scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh".

That will also do the "Code:" line instruction disassembly, which is
less critical, since that can be done later at any time with no loss
of information, but it can be a convenience.
