Any chance you could do "make arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.s" and send it
to me?

I want to see what code is in your oops_end.

It really does not make sense that simply renaming a function would
trigger this error.

I did a full build (on debian 10 with gcc-8.3.0) and I did not manage to
reproduce this.  In a bit I will try with a newer debian and see if I
can get the issue to reproduce.  Still it does not make sense to me
that a simple rename would trigger this error.
