dump_stack: add vmlinux build ID to stack traces
Add the running kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace information header. This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full debuginfo for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the correct vmlinux from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in the pstore logs and the recovery kernel is different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the data can be large and a security concern). The stacktrace can be analyzed after the crash by using the build ID to find the matching vmlinux and understand where in the function something went wrong. Example stacktrace from lkdtm: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] Modules linked in: lkdtm rfcomm algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg xt_cgroup uinput xt_MASQUERADE CPU: 4 PID: 3255 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.11 #3 aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT) pstate: 00400009 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) pc : lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID, following the kernel version number. Put it all behind a config option, STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID, so that kernel developers can remove this information if they decide it is too much.
