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 loading @0xffff800002d30000: mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230808083020.22254-1-Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230808083020.22254-2-Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.com Signed-off-by: Kuan-Ying Lee <Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.com> Cc: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <angelogioacchino.delregno@collabora.com> Cc: Chinwen Chang <chinwen.chang@mediatek.com> Cc: Matthias Brugger <matthias.bgg@gmail.com> Cc: Qun-Wei Lin <qun-wei.lin@mediatek.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
