Yikes.  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.

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.

Best Regards,
Petr
