Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes for $lx_current and $lx_per_cpu". This series fixes several bugs in the GDB scripts related to the $lx_current and $lx_per_cpu functions. The changes were tested with GDB 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. Patch 1 fixes false-negative results when probing for KGDB Patch 2 fixes the $lx_per_cpu function, which is currently non-functional in QEMU-GDB and KGDB. Patch 3 fixes an additional bug in $lx_per_cpu that occurs with KGDB. Patch 4 fixes the incorrect detection of the current CPU number in KGDB, which silently breaks $lx_per_cpu and $lx_current. This patch (of 4): The KGDB probe function sometimes failed to detect KGDB for SMP machines as it assumed that task 2 (kthreadd) is running on CPU 0, which is not necessarily the case. Now, the detection is agnostic to kthreadd's CPU.

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 reStructuredText 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.
