[PATCH] makedumpfile: warn on vmlinux without dwarf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

If the vmlinux does not have dwarf information makedumpfile fails in
a rather obscure way, with a flood of redundant errors,

Make it fail with more of a hint of what is wrong.
