[ Upstream commit 801a2b1b49f4dcf06703130922806e9c639c2ca8 ]
After the conversion to bus_to_subsys() and class_to_subsys(), the gdb
scripts listing the system buses and classes respectively was broken, fix
those by returning the subsys_priv pointer and have the various caller
de-reference either the 'bus' or 'class' structure members accordingly.

Patch series "Add GDB memory helper commands", v2.
I've created some GDB commands I think useful when I debug some memory
issues and kernel module issue.
For memory issue, we would like to get slabinfo, slabtrace, page_owner and
vmallocinfo to debug the memory issues.
For module issue, we would like to query kernel module name when we get a
module text address and load module symbol by specific path.
Patch 1-2:
- Add kernel module related command.
Patch 3-5:
- Prepares for the memory-related command.
Patch 6-8:
- Add memory-related commands.
This patch (of 8):
Add lx-symbols <ko_path> command to support add specific
ko module.
Example output like below:
(gdb) lx-symbols mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko

lx-symbols assumes that module's .text sections is located at
`module->mem[MOD_TEXT].base` and passes it to add-symbol-file command.
However, .text section follows after .plt section in modules built by LLVM
toolchain for arm64 target. Symbol addresses are skewed in GDB.
Fix this issue by using the address of .text section stored in
`module->sect_attrs`.

Patch series "GDB VFS utils".
I've created a couple GDB convenience functions that I found useful when
debugging some VFS issues and figure others might find them useful. For
instance, they are useful in setting conditional breakpoints on VFS
functions where you only care if the dentry path is a certain value. I
took the opportunity to create a new "vfs" python module to give VFS
related utilities a home.
This patch (of 2):
This will allow for more VFS specific GDB helpers to be collected in one
place. Move utils.dentry_name into the vfs modules. Also a local
variable in proc.py was changed from vfs to mnt to prevent a naming
collision with the new vfs module.

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed
by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in
the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems.
This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its
head node.
Usage:
The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.
The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly
to the type based on the storage in the data structure.
For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:
(gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)
This script previously existed under commit
e127a73d41 ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree
Parser") and was later reverted with
b447e02548a3304c47b78b5e2d75a4312a8f17e1i (Revert "scripts/gdb: add a
Radix Tree Parser").
This version expects the XArray based radix tree implementation and has
been verified using QEMU/x86 on Linux 6.3-rc5.

A running x86 UML kernel reports with architecture "i386:x86-64" as it is
a sub-architecture. However, a difference with bare-metal x86 kernels is
in how it manages tasks and the current task struct. To identify that the
inferior is a UML kernel and not bare-metal, check for the existence of
the UML specific symbol "cpu_tasks" which contains the current task
struct.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: Support getting current task struct in UML",
v3.
A running x86 UML kernel reports with architecture "i386:x86-64" as it is
a sub-architecture. However, a difference with bare-metal x86 kernels is
in how it manages tasks and the current task struct. To identify that the
inferior is a UML kernel and not bare-metal, check for the existence of
the UML specific symbol "cpu_tasks" which contains the current task
struct.
This patch (of 3):
There is an extra space in a couple blocks in get_current_task. Though
python does not care, let's make the spacing consistent. Also, format
better an if expression, removing unneeded parenthesis.

The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on
CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an
int or a s64 value.
Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to
read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t.
On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the
struct prb_desc_ring:
struct prb_desc_ring {
...
atomic_long_t tail_id;
};
causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the
struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error:
Python Exception <class 'IndexError'>: index out of range
Error occurred in Python: index out of range

For the gdb command lx-dmesg, the entire descriptor, info, and text
data regions are read into memory before printing any records. For
large kernel log buffers, this not only causes a huge delay before
seeing any records, but it may also lead to python errors of too
much memory allocation.
Rather than reading in all these regions in advance, read them as
needed and only read the regions for the particular record that is
being printed.
The gdb macro "dmesg" in Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/gdbmacros.txt
already prints out the kernel log buffer like this.

("scripts/gdb: find vmlinux where it was before") and commit da036ae147
("scripts/gdb: handle split debug").
Although Chrome OS has been using the debug suffix for modules for a
while, it has just recently started using it for vmlinux as well. That
means we've now got to improve the detection of "vmlinux" to also handle
that it might end with ".debug".

arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address. While running
in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace. So if the upper bit is not 1
(not TTBR1), the current address is invalid. This patch checks the upper
bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return
the derefrence of current task. Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users
they are running in userspace(EL0).
While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current
task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.
lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.
This patch (of 2):
x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:
arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =

x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;
On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:
(gdb) p $lx_current().pid
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.
To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
"The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation,
including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and
read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and
without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers.
The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few
more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the
message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being
discussed and should be ready for the next release.
The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to
avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to
the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message
can be extended.
The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an
integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the
descriptor ring with other metadata.
The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It
allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary
values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata.
This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers
2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. The
next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal
system operation. It will require special handling of situations when
the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot,
suspend, panic.
Other changes:
- Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of
the rework and is familiar with the code and history.
- Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report.
- Few code cleanups"
