The "d_iname" member was replaced with "d_shortname.string" in the commit
referenced in the Fixes tag.  This prevented the GDB script "lx-mount"
command to properly function:

Using lx-symbols during s390 early boot fails with:

    Error occurred in Python: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcb in position 0: invalid continuation byte

The reason is that s390 decompressor's startup_kernel() does not create
vmcoreinfo note, and sets vmcore_info to kernel's physical base.  This
confuses get_vmcore_s390().

Fix by handling this special case.  Extract vm_layout.kaslr_offset from
the kernel image in physical memory, which is placed there by the
decompressor using the __bootdata_preserved mechanism, and generate a
synthetic vmcoreinfo note from it.

Move the code that turns off pagination into a separate function.  It will
be useful later in order to prevent hangs when loading symbols for kernel
image in physical memory during s390 early boot.

Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during
early boot".

I noticed that debugging s390 early boot using the support I introduced in
commit 28939c3e9925 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on
s390") does not work.

The reason is that decompressor does not provide the vmcoreinfo note, so
KASLR offset needs to be extracted in a different way, which this series
implements.  Patches 1-2 are trivial refactorings, and patch 3 is the
implementation.


This patch (of 3):

Move the code that determines the current vmlinux file into a separate
function.  It will be useful later in order to analyze the kernel image in
physical memory during s390 early boot.

Dynamic memory layout is used by KASLR and 5-level paging.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL is going to be removed, making 5-level paging support
unconditional which requires unconditional support of dynamic memory
layout.

Commit db08c53fdd542bb7f83b ("scripts/gdb: fix parameter handling in
$lx_per_cpu") changed the parameter handling of lx_per_cpu to use GdbValue
instead of parsing the variable name.  Update the documentation to reflect
the new lx_per_cpu usage.  Update the hrtimer_bases example to use rb_tree
instead of the timerqueue_head.next pointer removed in commit
511885d7061eda3eb1fa ("lib/timerqueue: Rely on rbtree semantics for next
timer").

Commit db08c53fdd542bb7f83b ("scripts/gdb: fix parameter handling in
$lx_per_cpu") changed the parameter handling of lx_per_cpu to use GdbValue
instead of parsing the variable name.  Update the documentation to reflect
the new lx_per_cpu usage.  Update the hrtimer_bases example to use rb_tree
instead of the timerqueue_head.next pointer removed in commit
511885d7061eda3eb1fa ("lib/timerqueue: Rely on rbtree semantics for next
timer").

<id>6be7045c7756caf2d445dc66473e45ac5779cd55</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()".

These patches (1) fix kgdb detection on systems featuring a single CPU and
(2) update the documentation to reflect the current usage of lx_per_cpu()
and update an outdated example of its usage.


This patch (of 2):

When requested the list of threads via qfThreadInfo, gdb_cmd_query in
kernel/debug/gdbstub.c first returns "shadow" threads for CPUs followed by
the actual tasks in the system.  Extended qThreadExtraInfo queries yield
"shadowCPU%d" as the name for the CPU core threads.

This behavior is used by get_gdbserver_type() to probe for KGDB by
matching the name for the thread 2 against "shadowCPU".  This breaks down
on single-core systems, where thread 2 is the first nonshadow thread. 
Request the name for thread 1 instead.

As GDB assigns thread IDs in the order of their appearance, it is safe to
assume shadowCPU0 at ID 1 as long as CPU0 is not hotplugged.

Before:

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id                      Frame
  1    Thread 4294967294 (shadowCPU0) kgdb_breakpoint ()
* 2    Thread 1 (swapper/0)           kgdb_breakpoint ()
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd)            0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
  ...
(gdb) p $lx_current().comm
Sorry, obtaining the current CPU is not yet supported with this gdb server.

After:

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id                      Frame
  1    Thread 4294967294 (shadowCPU0) kgdb_breakpoint ()
* 2    Thread 1 (swapper/0)           kgdb_breakpoint ()
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd)            0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
  ...
(gdb) p $lx_current().comm
$1 = "swapper/0\000\000\000\000\000\000"
