[RFC v2] powerpc: xmon: Add address lookup for percpu symbols

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Tue Nov 22 2016 - 04:20:41 EST


Currently, in xmon, there is no obvious way to get an address for a
percpu symbol for a particular cpu. Having such an ability would be good
for debugging the system when percpu variables got involved.

Therefore, this patch introduces a new xmon command "lp" to lookup the
address for percpu symbols. Usage of "lp" is similar to "ls", except
that we could add a cpu number to choose the variable of which cpu we
want to lookup. If no cpu number is given, lookup for current cpu.

v1 --> v2:

o Using per_cpu_ptr() and this_cpu_ptr() instead of
per_cpu_offset() and my_cpu_offset, because the latter
are undefined on !SMP kernel.

o Only print the address of percpu symbols, i.e. symbols
in [__per_cpu_start, __per_cpu_end)
