Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 12/25] docs/scripts/gdb: add necessary make scripts_gdb step
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 21:08:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230227020855.1051605-12-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230227020855.1051605-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Jakob Koschel <jkl820.git@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 6b219431037bf98c9efd49716aea9b68440477a3 ]

In order to debug the kernel successfully with gdb you need to run
'make scripts_gdb' nowadays.

This was changed with the following commit:

Commit 67274c083438340ad16c ("scripts/gdb: delay generation of gdb
constants.py")

In order to have a complete guide for beginners this remark
should be added to the offial documentation.
