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)

Some macro's and defines are needed when parsing memory, and without
compiling the kernel as -g3 they are not available in the debug-symbols.
We use the pre-processor here to extract constants to a dedicated module
for the linux debugger extensions
Top level Kbuild is used to call in and generate the constants file,
while maintaining dependencies on autogenerated files in
include/generated

lx-version Report the Linux Version of the current kernel.
Add a command to identify the version specified by the banner in the
debugged kernel.
This lets the user identify the kernel of the running kernel, and will
let later scripts compare the banner of the attached kernel against the
banner in the vmlinux symbols files to verify that the files are
correct.

This function allows to obtain a per-cpu variable, either of the current
or an explicitly specified CPU.
Note: sparc64 version is untested.

This pokes into the log buffer of the debugged kernel, dumping it to the
gdb console. Helping in case the target should or can no longer execute
dmesg itself.

This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules:
lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko
files in the specified paths and the current directory. Finally it walks
the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command
for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds
to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata)
and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This
allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.

Provide an internal helper with container_of semantics. As type lookups
are very slow in gdb-python and we need a type "long" for this, cache the
reference to this type object. Then export the helper also as a
convenience function form use at the gdb command line.

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.
This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.
