Patch series "Add build ID to stacktraces", v6.
This series adds the kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace header printed
in oops messages, warnings, etc. and the build ID for any module that
appears in the stacktrace after the module name. The goal is to make the
stacktrace more self-contained and descriptive by including the relevant
build IDs in the kernel logs when something goes wrong. This can be used
by post processing tools like script/decode_stacktrace.sh and kernel
developers to easily locate the debug info associated with a kernel crash
and line up what line and file things started falling apart at.
To show how this can be used I've included a patch to decode_stacktrace.sh
that downloads the debuginfo from a debuginfod server. This also includes
some patches to make the buildid.c file use more const arguments and
consolidate logic into buildid.c from kdump. These are left to the end as
they were mostly cleanup patches.
Here's an example lkdtm stacktrace on arm64.

This patch (of 13):
Some kernel elf files have various notes that also happen to have an elf
note type of '3', which matches NT_GNU_BUILD_ID but the note name isn't
"GNU". For example, this note trips up the existing logic:
Owner Data size Description
Xen 0x00000008 Unknown note type: (0x00000003) description data: 00 00 00 ffffff80 ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff
Let's make sure that it is a GNU note when parsing the build ID so that we
can use this function to parse a vmlinux's build ID too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
