Leonard Crestez 778c1f5ccb scripts/gdb: add helpers to find and list devices
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
