[patch V5 07/15] scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage

From: Thomas Gleixner

Date: Wed Apr 01 2026 - 17:53:40 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxx>

x86 changed the interrupt statistics from a struct with individual members
to an counter array. It also provides a corresponding info array with the
strings for prefix and description and an indicator to skip the entry.

Update the already out of sync GDB script to use the counter and the info
array, which keeps the GDB script in sync automatically.

V5: Bring the show_err_irq() back as it is used on mips
Fix the index calculation for the show bitmap so it works with more than one
unsigned long.
V4: Adopted to irq_stat_count_show bitmap and removed the duplicate ERR/MIS output
V3: New patch - Radu
