Subject[PATCH v5 00/20] Add gdb python scripts as kernel debugging helpers
Date
Version 5 comes with the following changes:
- moved tutorial into Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt
- improved caching of gdb.Type objects, ensure they are in sync with
currently loaded symbols
- added new functions and commands
- lx_module -- Find module by name and return the module variable
- lx_modvar -- Return global variable of a module
- lx-lsmod -- List currently loaded modules

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.
