Subject: [PATCH 0/2] scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB

Hi,

This series greatly simplifies debugging BPF progs when using QEMU
gdbstub by providing symbol names, sizes, and line numbers to GDB.

Patch 1 adds radix tree iteration, which is necessary for parsing
prog_idr. Patch 2 is the actual implementation; its description
contains some details on how to use this.

Best regards,
Ilya
