Was that supposed to be user-friendly too?

$ ./scripts/objdump-func -h
./scripts/objdump-func: line 16: $1: unbound variable

:-)


It works tho:

$ ./scripts/objdump-func vmlinux rewind_stack_and_make_dead
0000 ffffffff81001c00 <rewind_stack_and_make_dead>:
0000 ffffffff81001c00:  31 ed                   xor    %ebp,%ebp
0000 ffffffff81001c02:  65 48 8b 04 25 d0 ec 01 00      mov    %gs:0x1ecd0,%rax
0000 ffffffff81001c0b:  48 8d a0 58 ff ff ff    lea    -0xa8(%rax),%rsp
0000 ffffffff81001c12:  e8 39 24 07 00          call   ffffffff81074050 <make_task_dead>
^^^^

I guess those zeros at the beginning are supposed to mean something...

Thx.
