Kieran Bingham b3b0842985 scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3
The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print
successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes
for each line with a b'<text>' marker.

To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default
to 'UTF-8'

Dom Cote d21d5b9eb0 scripts/gdb: fix issue with dmesg.py and python 3.X
When built against Python 3, GDB differs in the return type for its
read_memory function, causing the lx-dmesg command to fail.

Now that we have an improved read_16() we can use the new
read_memoryview() abstraction to make lx-dmesg return valid data on both
current Python APIs

Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

Dom Cote 321958d971 scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scripts
Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type
for the arguments.

When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built
with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str'
for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ).

Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object
back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X .

Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

Kieran Bingham 9f66dee720 scripts/gdb: add lx_thread_info_by_pid helper
The tasks module already provides helpers to find the task struct by
pid, and the thread_info by task struct; however this is cumbersome to
utilise on the gdb commandline.

Wrap these two functionalities together in an extra single helper to
allow exploring the thread info, from a PID value

Kieran Bingham e127a73d41 scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser
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)

is raised.  Most of the time, this is a good thing; however on occasion

By catching the exception to simply return None, we can determine if we
tried to read an invalid value, without the exception taking our
execution context away from us

may hit the page boundary of the output console and cause a stop if

forced to interrupt gdb.

Resolve this by disabling pagination during automatic symbol updates.  We
restore the user's configuration once done.

Using the gdb scripts leaves byte-compiled python files in the scripts/

Pantelis Koukousoulas 276d97d90a scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7
I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.

I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).

Main issues that needed to be resolved:

  * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
    __next__() instead (so let's just add both).

  * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
    in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
    where it was converting the object to str first and then
    calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
    we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
    we need to keep this behavior.

  * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
    which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
    methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
    python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
    and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.

This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

Jan Kiszka 66051720b8 scripts/gdb: add lx-symbols command
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.
