We currently have $lx_per_cpu() which works fine for stuff that kernel code would access via per_cpu(). But this doesn't work for stuff that kernel code accesses via per_cpu_ptr(): (gdb) p $lx_per_cpu(node_data[1].node_zones[2]->per_cpu_pageset) Cannot access memory at address 0xffff11105fbd6c28 This is because we take the address of the pointer and use that as the offset, instead of using the stored value. Add a GDB version that mirrors the kernel API, which uses the pointer value. To be consistent with per_cpu_ptr(), we need to return the pointer value instead of dereferencing it for the user. Therefore, move the existing dereference out of the per_cpu() Python helper and do that only in the $lx_per_cpu() implementation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
