Subject: [PATCH 0/3] module: process aliasing when debugging

Debugging ineractions with userspace can often be a bit of pain, specially
when trying to figure out who is at fault for an issue. Having the kernel
process aliases when debugging can help us much faster find who is the
culprit to an issue.

I've been carrying this around privately in my tree since 2016 but it seems
others can benefit from similar debugging functionality so pushing this out
for integration and wider review.

Further testing, thoughts, reviews, flames are all equally appreciated.

Luis R. Rodriguez (3):
  module: use goto errors on check_modinfo() and layout_and_allocate()
  module: add helper get_modinfo_idx()
  module: add debugging alias parsing support
