[PATCH 0/2] kallsyms: show typed function parameters in oops/WARN dumps

[Sasha Levin]

Building on the lineinfo series, this adds typed function parameter
display to oops and WARN dumps.  A build-time tool extracts parameter
names and types from DWARF, and the kernel maps pt_regs to the calling
convention at crash time.  When BTF is available, struct pointer
parameters are dereferenced and their members displayed.

Example output from a WARN in a function receiving struct new_utsname *
(kernel version info) and struct file * parameters:

Patch 1 adds the core paraminfo infrastructure (DWARF extraction,
kernel-side lookup, register-to-parameter mapping, ~1-2 MB overhead).
Patch 2 adds optional BTF-based struct rendering, gated behind
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_PARAMINFO_BTF.

Sasha Levin (2):
  kallsyms: show function parameter info in oops/WARN dumps
  kallsyms: add BTF-based deep parameter rendering in oops dumps
