scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh doesn't show the file name and line num?

[Ammar Faizi]

What is the kernel build config to enable debugging line by line?

With CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y, scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh doesn't show
the file name when used to decode a call trace. It shows "(??:?)" and
sometimes it shows the file name, but no line like (fair.c:?).

Running this in the Linux kernel compilation directory:

$ scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux < kernel_log_from_dmesg.txt;
