gcc's -freorder-blocks-and-partition option makes it group frequently
and infrequently used code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely sections
respectively. At least when building modules on s390, this option is
used by default.
gdb assumes that all code is located in .text section, and that .text
section is located at module load address. With such modules this is no
longer the case: there is code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely, and
either of them might precede .text.
Fix by explicitly telling gdb the addresses of code sections.
It might be tempting to do this for all sections, not only the ones in
the white list. Unfortunately, gdb appears to have an issue, when
telling it about e.g. loadable .note.gnu.build-id section causes it to
think that non-loadable .note.Linux section is loaded at address 0,
which in turn causes NULL pointers to be resolved to bogus symbols. So
keep using the white list approach for the time being.

Currently lx-symbols assumes that module text is always located at
module->core_layout->base, but s390 uses the following layout:
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base
| GOT |
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base + module->arch->plt_offset
| PLT |
+------+ <- module->core_layout->base + module->arch->plt_offset +
| TEXT | module->arch->plt_size
+------+
Therefore, when trying to debug modules on s390, all the symbol
addresses are skewed by plt_offset + plt_size.
Fix by adding plt_offset + plt_size to module_addr in
load_module_symbols().

When CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set, struct printk_log contains an
additional member caller_id. This affects the offset of the log text.
Account for this by using the type information from gdb to determine all
the offsets instead of using hardcoded values.
This fixes following error:
(gdb) lx-dmesg
Python Exception <class 'ValueError'> embedded null character:
Error occurred in Python command: embedded null character
The read_u* utility functions now take an offset argument to make them
easier to use.

Some systems (like Chrome OS) may use "split debug" for kernel modules.
That means that the debug symbols are in a different file than the main
elf file. Let's handle that by also searching for debug symbols that end
in ".ko.debug".
This is a packaging topic. You can take a normal elf file and split the
debug out of it using objcopy. Try "man objcopy" and then take a look at
the "--only-keep-debug" option. It'll give you a whole recipe for doing
splitdebug. The suffix used for the debug symbols is arbitrary. If
people have other another suffix besides ".ko.debug" then we could
presumably support that too...
For portage (which is the packaging system used by Chrome OS) split debug
is supported by default (and the suffix is .ko.debug). ...and so in
Chrome OS we always get the installed elf files stripped and then the
symbols stashed away.
At the moment we don't actually use the normal portage magic to do this
for the kernel though since it affects our ability to get good stack dumps
in the kernel. We instead pass a script as "strip" [1].

Add helper commands and functions for finding pointers to struct device
by enumerating linux device bus/class infrastructure. This can be used
to fetch subsystem and driver-specific structs:
(gdb) p *$container_of($lx_device_find_by_class_name("net", "eth0"), "struct net_device", "dev")
(gdb) p *$container_of($lx_device_find_by_bus_name("i2c", "0-004b"), "struct i2c_client", "dev")
(gdb) p *(struct imx_port*)$lx_device_find_by_class_name("tty", "ttymxc1")->parent->driver_data
Several generic "lx-device-list" functions are included to enumerate
devices by bus and class:
(gdb) lx-device-list-bus usb
(gdb) lx-device-list-class
(gdb) lx-device-list-tree &platform_bus
Similar information is available in /sys but pointer values are
deliberately hidden.

Commit 25b146c5b8 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
deprecated KBUILD_SRCTREE.
It is only used in tools/testing/selftest/ to distinguish out-of-tree
build. Replace it with a new boolean flag, building_out_of_srctree.
I also replaced the conditional ($(srctree),.) because the next commit
will allow an absolute path to be used for $(srctree) even when building
in the source tree.

Patch series "gdb script for kconfig and timer list".
This is a handful of changes to the kernel's gdb scripts to do some more
debugging with kgdb. The first patch allows the vmlinux to be reloaded
from where it was specified on the command line so that this set of
scripts can be used from anywhere. The second patch adds a script to
dump the config.gz to a file on the host debugging machine. The third
patch adds some rb tree utilities and the last patch uses those rb tree
walking utilities to dump out the contents of /proc/timer_list from a
system under debug.
This patch (of 5):
If I run 'gdb <path/to/vmlinux>' and there's the vmlinux-gdb.py file
there I can properly see symbols and use the lx commands provided by the
GDB scripts. But once I run 'lx-symbols' at the command prompt, gdb
reloads the vmlinux symbols assuming that this script was run from the
directory that has vmlinux at the root. That isn't always true, but we
could just look and see what symbols were already loaded and use that
instead. Let's do that so this can work by being invoked anywhere.

KBUILD_SRC was conventionally used for some different purposes:
[1] To remember the source tree path
[2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
[3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree
For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
[2] has been replaced with self-commenting 'sub_make_done'.
For [3], we can distinguish in-tree/out-of-tree by comparing
$(srctree) and '.'
This commit converts [3] to prepare for the KBUILD_SRC removal.
