[PATCH v2 2/2] scripts/gdb: Fix stack depot out-of-bounds diagnostic

From: Ting-Han Hou

Date: Sat Oct 10 2026 - 22:31:29 EST


The pool_index field was renamed to pool_index_plus_1, but the
out-of-bounds diagnostic in stack_depot_fetch() still accesses the old
field. Looking up a handle whose pool index is outside stack_pools
therefore raises "There is no member named pool_index" instead of
printing the diagnostic and returning an empty result.

Use the already decoded pool_index variable in the diagnostic.

Changes in v2:
- No code change. Resent with git send-email as patch 2/2 of the
series; the v1 posting was word-wrapped by the mail client and did
not apply.

Tested the lx-stack_depot_lookup command with GDB 17.1 and a GCC-built
ELF fixture using the handle bitfield layout for 4 KiB pages. The
fixture contains one pool and a valid stack record. This is a synthetic
debugger fixture, not a booted kernel or a kernel core dump.

Handles 2 and 0xffff fail with the missing-member exception before the
fix and print the correct out-of-bounds diagnostic after it. Handle 1
still prints the expected instructions, and handle 0 retains its
existing rejection.
