scripts/gdb: add infrastructure This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb. The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux. The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory. Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we depend on gdb >= 7.2. This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

scripts/gdb: ensure the absolute path is generated on initial source Post 'make scripts_gdb' a symbolic link to scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py is created. Currently 'os.path.dirname(__file__)' does not generate the absolute path to scripts/gdb resulting in the following: (gdb) source vmlinux-gdb.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py", line 25, in <module> import linux.utils ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'linux' This patch ensures that the absolute path to scripts/gdb in relation to the given file is generated so each module can be located accordingly.

scripts/gdb: add container_of helper and convenience function Provide an internal helper with container_of semantics. As type lookups are very slow in gdb-python and we need a type "long" for this, cache the reference to this type object. Then export the helper also as a convenience function form use at the gdb command line.

scripts/gdb: add lx-symbols command This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules: lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko files in the specified paths and the current directory. Finally it walks the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata) and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.

scripts/gdb: add kernel config dumping command lx-configdump <file> dumps the contents of the gzipped .config to a text file when the config is included in the kernel with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. By default, the file written is called config.txt, but it can be any user supplied filename as well. If the kernel config is in a module (configs.ko), then it can be loaded along with symbols for the module loaded with 'lx-symbols' and then this command will still work. Obviously if you have the whole vmlinux then this can also be achieved with scripts/extract-ikconfig, but this gdb script can be useful to confirm that the memory contents of the config in memory and the vmlinux contents on disk match what is expected.
