Title:
15.04: incomplete debug symbols package - please disable
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT or package the .dwo files
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
The kernel option CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT has been enabled in vivid
(commit bb5f2d940954fb389f16a0f7ad05b5a53a7e5227).
It moves debuginfo to .dwo files, using gcc -split-dwarf.
The kernel packaging received no updates to include the .dwo files, AFAICT.
This results in gdb/crash not unable to find/read the kernel debug
symbols, because the .dwo files are not present.
Possible solutions include:
1) Disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
2) Update the packaging to include .dwo files.
Options #1 (patch attached) tested, and it worked.
Before:
----------
# grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT /boot/config-3.18.0-9-generic
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y
gdb:
