[PATCH v4 00/13] Add build ID to stacktraces

This series adds the kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace header printed
in oops messages, warnings, etc. and the build ID for any module that
appears in the stacktrace after the module name. The goal is to make the
stacktrace more self-contained and descriptive by including the relevant
build IDs in the kernel logs when something goes wrong. This can be used
by post processing tools like script/decode_stacktrace.sh and kernel
developers to easily locate the debug info associated with a kernel
crash and line up what line and file things started falling apart at.
To show how this can be used I've included a patch to
decode_stacktrace.sh that downloads the debuginfo from a debuginfod
server.
This also includes some patches to make the buildid.c file use more
const arguments and consolidate logic into buildid.c from kdump. These
are left to the end as they were mostly cleanup patches. I don't know
who exactly maintains this so I guess Andrew is the best option to merge
all this code.
Here's an example lkdtm stacktrace on arm64.
