Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.
lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.
This patch (of 2):
x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:
arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;
On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:
(gdb) p $lx_current().pid
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.
To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,
document it.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

commit 6807c84652b0 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR
by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel
symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for
kernel debugging.
