It's been a while since my last update of these patches. This one is mostly about cleaning up and making some details more convenient: - proper registration of module data segments to access module variables - this obsoletes lx_modvar again - stable breakpoint target on do_init_module in order to track module loading more reliably from the debugger - internal refactoring with the aim to "pythonize" the scripts (credits for all valuable suggestions belong to Tatiana, many thanks, for improper implementations to me) See http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1210.0/01598.html for the original description and git://git.kiszka.org/linux.git queues/gdb-scripts for the latest version.
