[PATCH] GDB Macros to ease debugging modules

[Lubomir Rintel]

Hi,

So these files are meant to be in conjunction with either QEMU or GDB.
They provide macros that will help mapping symbol files to appropriate
addresses. The grub.gdb file contains inline documentation, I plan on
either updating wiki documentation [1] or texinfo documentation in case
anyone's already working on it.

For now, given the GDB's way of to looking up symbol files and ability
I am aware of and missing abilities to pass the resolved paths to the
program that's exec'd, gmodule.pl has to reside at the same directory as
symbol files and that should be GDB's working directory as well. That
directory is the build directory, which is often the source directory.

Needless to say, this needs preservance of unstripped elf files, which
means these [2] modifications to genmk.rb.
