From db08c53fdd542bb7f83bd57c3cfa3e1b95c9b54d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Rommel Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:34:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] scripts/gdb: fix parameter handling in $lx_per_cpu Before, the script tried to get the address by constructing a pointer to the parameter (by name). However, since GDB now passes the parameter as a GdbValue, we cannot get its name. Instead, we retrieve the address through GdbValue's address attribute. Before: >>> p $lx_per_cpu(cpu_info) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scripts/gdb/linux/cpus.py", line 152, in invoke var_ptr = gdb.parse_and_eval("&" + var_name.string()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ gdb.error: Trying to read string with inappropriate type `struct cpuinfo_x86'.
