SubjectRe: Linux 5.8-rc1 BUG unable to handle page fault (snd_pcm)

Thanks. It looks like it isn't needed and people already know what the cause is.

Also, sadly the stack trace decoding didn't end up as useful as it
could have been because it looks like it doesn't know how to do the
nice address lookups for modules.

So this:

> [ 15.341237] RIP: 0010:__memset (arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S:41)

gets nicely pinpointed to the source, but the most critical part of
the call trace is in modules, and there we end up having just

without then looking at the debug info in the snd_pcm module to figure that out.

Then when the call trace gets back to non-module code, it looks good again:

> [ 15.341285] ksys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:49 /home/shuah/lkml/linux_5.8/fs/ioctl.c:753)
> [ 15.341288] __x64_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:760)

> [ 15.341294] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:124)

with pinpointing to exactly where the calls are.

I note that Konstantin Khlebnikov did add support to do the module
parts too back in 2016, but it requires people to know to give the
module path too.

Adding him and Sasha to the participants in case there are ideas on
how to improve on this (and party just because I want to once again
give scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh soem more mention, because a lot of
people seem to be unaware of how useful it can be to make oopses and
traces more readable..

Maybe even just a warning about lacking a module path when there are
module symbols present?
