Yes, not only llvm-objdump. I can see other tools also can handle this and even
can download from online by Debuginfod.
- perf can search debugging info there if HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT.
- gdb can search debugging info there and download via Debuginfod if not exist.
While above requires debugging files are placed correctly in
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/. For vdso mostly you need to copy it manully.
The target of this series is to handle it transparently, espacially for locally
built kernels.
