scripts/gdb: add helpers to find and list devices
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
