Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Add GDB memory helper commands

Hi all,

I've created some GDB commands I think useful when I debug
some memory issues and kernel module issue.

For memory issue, we would like to get slabinfo, slabtrace,
page_owner and vmallocinfo to debug the memory issues.

For module issue, we would like to query kernel module name
when we get a module text address and load module
symbol by specific path.

This patchset is based on v6.5-rc3.

Patch 1-2:
 - Add kernel module releated command.
Patch 3-5:
 - Prepares for the memory-releated command.
Patch 6-8:
 - Add memory-related commands.

Kuan-Ying Lee (8):
  scripts/gdb/symbols: add specific ko module load command
  scripts/gdb/modules: add get module text support
  scripts/gdb/utils: add common type usage
  scripts/gdb/aarch64: add aarch64 page operation helper commands and
    configs
  scripts/gdb/stackdepot: Add stackdepot support
  scripts/gdb/page_owner: add page owner support
  scripts/gdb/slab: Add slab support
  scripts/gdb/vmalloc: add vmallocinfo support
