What are the requirements on a Linux binary in order to drill down to its source?
In order to drill down to source, the Linux binary must be compiled with debug information. For example, if the GCC or the Intel(R) compilers are used, then the sources should be compiled with the “-g” option. Please note that under certain circumstances, compiling with detailed debug information and high optimization (e.g., “-g3 -O3”) may cause problems with source drill down. In order to drill down to Linux kernel source, you must have a kernel file built with debug information. To build such a kernel file, go to the directory containing the kernel sources and edit the kernel source’s top-level Makefile.
