I think it is useful to get debugging information as described in the
following texts:
lib/Kconfig.debug
config FRAME_POINTER
bool "Compile the kernel with frame pointers"
...
default y if (DEBUG_INFO && UML) || ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly
larger and slower, but it gives very useful debugging information
in case of kernel bugs. (precise oopses/stacktraces/warnings)
Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst
This option inserts code to into the compiled executable which saves
So to or into? :-)

I will update the commit message to correct it.
Thank you!
Thanks,
