Re:Debugging a Linux network stack crash via a single regist... by quotemstr on Friday November 19, 2021 @06:24PM (#29283906)
Microsoft publishes symbols that you can use to decode kernel crashes. The availability of source code isn't my point though: the point is that parsing text debug dumps is stone age crap and we should move to a model where crashes produce self-describing crash dumps that users can load into debuggers that find all relevant metadata automatically.

You shouldn't have to puzzle over the meaning of each register in the x86_64 to figure out what value a function parameter had at crash time
