[PATCH v5 09/14] gdb: Add more support for debugging on EFI platforms


From: Glenn Washburn
Subject: [PATCH v5 09/14] gdb: Add more support for debugging on EFI platforms
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2022 22:19:30 -0600

If the configure option --enable-efi-debug is given, then enable the
printing early in EFI startup of the command needed to load symbols for
the GRUB EFI kernel. This is needed because EFI firmware determines where
to load the GRUB EFI at runtime, and so the relevant addresses are not
known ahead of time. This is not printed when secure boot is enabled.

The command is a custom command defined in the gdb_grub GDB script. So
GDB should be started with the script as an argument to the -x option or
sourced into an active GDB session before running the outputted command.

Also a command named "gdbinfo" is enabled which allows the user to print
the gdb command string on-demand, which can be valuable as the printing
early in EFI startup is quickly replaced by other text. So if using a
physical screen it may appear too briefly to be registered.
