Patch series "GDB VFS utils".
I've created a couple GDB convenience functions that I found useful when
debugging some VFS issues and figure others might find them useful. For
instance, they are useful in setting conditional breakpoints on VFS
functions where you only care if the dentry path is a certain value. I
took the opportunity to create a new "vfs" python module to give VFS
related utilities a home.
This patch (of 2):
This will allow for more VFS specific GDB helpers to be collected in one
place. Move utils.dentry_name into the vfs modules. Also a local
variable in proc.py was changed from vfs to mnt to prevent a naming
collision with the new vfs module.

Since commit 1751e8a6cb93 ("Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz ->
SB_xyz)"), scripts/gdb should be updated to replace MS_xyz with SB_xyz.
This change didn't directly affect the running operation of scripts/gdb
until commit e262e32d6bde "vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the
kernel unless explicitly enabled" removed the definitions used by
constants.py.
Update constants.py.in to utilise the new internal flags, matching the
implementation at fs/proc_namespace.c::show_sb_opts.
Note to stable, e262e32d6bde landed in v5.0-rc1 (which was just
released), so we'll want this picked back to 5.0 stable once this patch
hits mainline (akpm just picked it up). Without this, debugging a
kernel a kernel via GDB+QEMU is broken in the 5.0 release.

A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when
parsing variables. This has been reported [0], but we should ensure
that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings.
For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version'
only prints one character.
(gdb) lx-version
L(gdb)
This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).
(gdb) lx-version

lx-fdtdump dumps the flattened device tree passed to the kernel from the
bootloader to the filename specified as the command argument. If no
argument is provided it defaults to fdtdump.dtb. This then allows
further post processing on the machine running GDB. The fdt header is
also also printed in the GDB console. For example:
(gdb) lx-fdtdump
fdt_magic: 0xD00DFEED
fdt_totalsize: 0xC108
off_dt_struct: 0x38
off_dt_strings: 0x3804
off_mem_rsvmap: 0x28
version: 17
last_comp_version: 16
Dumped fdt to fdtdump.dtb
>fdtdump fdtdump.dtb | less
This command is useful as the bootloader can often re-write parts of the
device tree, and this can sometimes cause the kernel to not boot.

lx-mounts will identify current mount points based on the 'init_task'
namespace by default, as we do not yet have a kernel thread list
implementation to select the current running thread.
Optionally, a user can specify a PID to list from that process'
namespace

Provide iomem_resource and ioports_resource printers and command hooks
It can be quite interesting to halt the kernel as it's booting and check
to see this list as it is being populated.
It should be useful in the event that a kernel is not booting, you can
identify what memory resources have been registered

lx-version Report the Linux Version of the current kernel.
Add a command to identify the version specified by the banner in the
debugged kernel.
This lets the user identify the kernel of the running kernel, and will
let later scripts compare the banner of the attached kernel against the
banner in the vmlinux symbols files to verify that the files are
correct.
