Yes, this matches my observations: gcc-11 generates the .ko that
confuses gdb.

I tested with two versions of gdb (10.2 and 14.2), both have the
problem. OTOH, lldb is able to disassemble copy_process from a
gcc-compiled .ko file properly.

This also matches my observations. gcc-11 compiled livepatch
works fine.

Thanks,
