Patch series "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and usability", v2. This small series improves usability of scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh by improving the usage text and correctly reporting when modules are built without debugging symbols. This patch (of 3): The find_module() function can fail for two reasons: * the module was not found * the module was found but without debugging info In both cases the user is reported the same error: WARNING! Modules path isn't set, but is needed to parse this symbol This is misleading in case the modules path is set correctly. find_module() is currently implemented as a recursive function based on global variables in order to check up to 4 different paths. This is not straightforward to read and even less to modify. Besides, the debuginfo code at the beginning of find_module() is executed identically every time the function is entered, i.e. up to 4 times per each module search due to recursion. To be able to improve error reporting, first rewrite the find_module() function to remove recursion. The new version of the function iterates over all the same (up to 4) paths as before and for each of them does the same checks as before. At the end of the iteration it is now able to print an appropriate error message, so that has been moved from the caller into find_module(). Finally, when the module is found but without debugging info, mention the two Kconfig variables one needs to set in order to have the needed debugging symbols.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
