No, please do not make the backtraces a complete mess for something that serves absolutely no need.It serves a need. Please look at the patches to understand that I'm adding the buildid to automatically find the associated debug information on distros.quoted
Would a "verbose" flag be acceptable solution? Something like write 1 to /sys/kernel/debug/verbose_stack to get the extra info. I think I see a need for it.Or a kernel config option and a commandline parameter? That would be OK for me as I said on v1 of this series. I'll add that in for the next patch series given all the distaste for some more hex characters next to the module name.
IMHO, a build configure option would fit the best here. It does not make sense to show the ID when the kernel vendor does not have a service to download the related binaries. But it makes sense to show the buildid by default when the provider/distro has the service and want to use the ID when handling bug reports. We could always add boot/run time options when people really need it.
