Subject: [PATCH 5/5] scripts/gdb: Add meminfo command
Provide an equivalent of /proc/meminfo which should be available from
core dumps, or crashed kernels. This should allow a debugger to identify
if memory pressures were applicable in the instance of their issue
Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@...aro.org>

This command has proved to be much more difficult that I first thought it
would be!
It also poses a couple of interesting issues, which is why I submit this
patch in a much more unfinished form.
The meminfo implementation at fs/proc/meminfo.c makes several function calls
to collate information, which makes duplicating here more difficult.
I suspect the best option here is to not present lines of which we can not
obtain accurate data for, (much better than presenting inaccurate information)
Would this go in agreement with you?
Finally, do you have any ideas on the best way to manage code which
is #ifdef'd on kernel config options? (#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM for example).
In a similar vein to the constants.py, I considered that we could iterate all
of the kernel configuration options and store them in a dictionary some how.
That may be awkward, however, and I wondered what ideas anyone had!
