From 82b41e3d6113291258c65281144bce946553dfed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 13:46:52 -0800 Subject: scripts/gdb: add automatic symbol reloading on module insertion This installs a silent breakpoint on the do_init_module function. The breakpoint handler will try to load symbols from the module files found during lx-symbols execution. This way, breakpoints can be set to module initialization functions, and there is no need to explicitly call lx-symbols after (re-)loading a module.
