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"

Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The
current implementation stores the property names each time they are
used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also,
because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional,
it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the
writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new
dictionary properties be introduced.
Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the
dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields
to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the
struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.

Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce
a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed
descriptor that cannot be extended.
Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to
append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the
desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state.
A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention
of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a
new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to
explicitly finalize while also making such records available to
readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.)
Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are
insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and
data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path
memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and
context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an
alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are
significant additions:
desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before
fully trusting the descriptor data.
_prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking
the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

gcc's -freorder-blocks-and-partition option makes it group frequently
and infrequently used code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely sections
respectively. At least when building modules on s390, this option is
used by default.
gdb assumes that all code is located in .text section, and that .text
section is located at module load address. With such modules this is no
longer the case: there is code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely, and
either of them might precede .text.
Fix by explicitly telling gdb the addresses of code sections.
It might be tempting to do this for all sections, not only the ones in
the white list. Unfortunately, gdb appears to have an issue, when
telling it about e.g. loadable .note.gnu.build-id section causes it to
think that non-loadable .note.Linux section is loaded at address 0,
which in turn causes NULL pointers to be resolved to bogus symbols. So
keep using the white list approach for the time being.

Currently lx-symbols assumes that module text is always located at
module->core_layout->base, but s390 uses the following layout:
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base
| GOT |
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base + module->arch->plt_offset
| PLT |
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base + module->arch->plt_offset +
| TEXT | module->arch->plt_size
+------+
Therefore, when trying to debug modules on s390, all the symbol
addresses are skewed by plt_offset + plt_size.
Fix by adding plt_offset + plt_size to module_addr in
load_module_symbols().

When CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set, struct printk_log contains an
additional member caller_id. This affects the offset of the log text.
Account for this by using the type information from gdb to determine all
the offsets instead of using hardcoded values.
This fixes following error:
(gdb) lx-dmesg
Python Exception <class 'ValueError'> embedded null character:
Error occurred in Python command: embedded null character
The read_u* utility functions now take an offset argument to make them
easier to use.

Some systems (like Chrome OS) may use "split debug" for kernel modules.
That means that the debug symbols are in a different file than the main
elf file. Let's handle that by also searching for debug symbols that end
in ".ko.debug".
This is a packaging topic. You can take a normal elf file and split the
debug out of it using objcopy. Try "man objcopy" and then take a look at
the "--only-keep-debug" option. It'll give you a whole recipe for doing
splitdebug. The suffix used for the debug symbols is arbitrary. If
people have other another suffix besides ".ko.debug" then we could
presumably support that too...
For portage (which is the packaging system used by Chrome OS) split debug
is supported by default (and the suffix is .ko.debug). ...and so in
Chrome OS we always get the installed elf files stripped and then the
symbols stashed away.
At the moment we don't actually use the normal portage magic to do this
for the kernel though since it affects our ability to get good stack dumps
in the kernel. We instead pass a script as "strip" [1].

(gdb) lx-device-list-class
(gdb) lx-device-list-tree &platform_bus
Similar information is available in /sys but pointer values are

deprecated KBUILD_SRCTREE.
It is only used in tools/testing/selftest/ to distinguish out-of-tree

I also replaced the conditional ($(srctree),.) because the next commit

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.

Patch series "gdb script for kconfig and timer list".
This is a handful of changes to the kernel's gdb scripts to do some more
debugging with kgdb. The first patch allows the vmlinux to be reloaded
from where it was specified on the command line so that this set of
scripts can be used from anywhere. The second patch adds a script to
dump the config.gz to a file on the host debugging machine. The third
patch adds some rb tree utilities and the last patch uses those rb tree
walking utilities to dump out the contents of /proc/timer_list from a
system under debug.
This patch (of 5):
If I run 'gdb <path/to/vmlinux>' and there's the vmlinux-gdb.py file
there I can properly see symbols and use the lx commands provided by the
GDB scripts. But once I run 'lx-symbols' at the command prompt, gdb
reloads the vmlinux symbols assuming that this script was run from the
directory that has vmlinux at the root. That isn't always true, but we
could just look and see what symbols were already loaded and use that
instead. Let's do that so this can work by being invoked anywhere.

KBUILD_SRC was conventionally used for some different purposes:
[1] To remember the source tree path
[2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
[3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree
For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
[2] has been replaced with self-commenting 'sub_make_done'.
For [3], we can distinguish in-tree/out-of-tree by comparing
$(srctree) and '.'
This commit converts [3] to prepare for the KBUILD_SRC removal.

...
Since commit 1751e8a6cb ("Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz ->
SB_xyz)"), scripts/gdb should be updated to replace MS_xyz with SB_xyz.
This change didn't directly affect the running operation of scripts/gdb
until commit e262e32d6b "vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the
kernel unless explicitly enabled" removed the definitions used by
constants.py.
Update constants.py.in to utilise the new internal flags, matching the
implementation at fs/proc_namespace.c::show_sb_opts.
Note to stable, e262e32d6b landed in v5.0-rc1 (which was just
released), so we'll want this picked back to 5.0 stable once this patch
hits mainline (akpm just picked it up). Without this, debugging a
kernel a kernel via GDB+QEMU is broken in the 5.0 release.
