Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] scripts/gdb: Add kernel config dumping command
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2019 15:08:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190329220844.38234-3-swboyd@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190329220844.38234-1-swboyd@chromium.org>

lx-configdump <file> dumps the contents of the gzipped .config to a text
file when the config is included in the kernel with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. By
default, the file written is called config.txt, but it can be any user
supplied filename as well. If the kernel config is in a module
(configs.ko), then it can be loaded along with symbols for the module
loaded with 'lx-symbols' and then this command will still work.

Obviously if you have the whole vmlinux then this can also be achieved
with scripts/extract-ikconfig, but this gdb script can be useful to
confirm that the memory contents of the config in memory and the vmlinux
contents on disk match what is expected.
