scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser
Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems. This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its head node. Usage: The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree. The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure. For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at index 18, try the following: (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) This script previously existed under commit e127a73d ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser") and was later reverted with b447e025i (Revert "scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser"). This version expects the XArray based radix tree implementation and has been verified using QEMU/x86 on Linux 6.3-rc5.
