Subject: Makefile.debug: re-enable debug info for .S files
From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>
This is _not_ an upstream commit and just for 5.15.y only. It is based
on commit 32ef9e5054ec0321b9336058c58ec749e9c6b0fe upstream.
Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:
commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")
In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in
commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")
Fixes: b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")
