Subject: scripts/gdb/symbols: add specific ko module load command
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2023 17:34:51 +0800

Patch series "Add GDB memory helper commands".

I've created some GDB commands I think useful when I debug
some memory issues and kernel module issue.

For memory issue, we would like to get slabinfo, slabtrace,
page_owner and vmallocinfo to debug the memory issues.

For module issue, we would like to query kernel module name
when we get a module text address and load module
symbol by specific path.


This patch (of 8):

Add lx-symbols <ko_path> command to support add specific
ko module.

Example output like below:
(gdb) lx-symbols mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko
loading @0xffff800002d30000: mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko
