vmlinux file must be compiled with debug info enabled. Thus,
you need to ensure that CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is enabled in the kernel configuration. You can find this
option under “Kernel hacking -> Compile the kernel with debug info” (in newer kernel versions under
“Kernel hacking -> Compile-time checks and compiler options -> Compile the kernel with debug
info”).
