- Add a new 'kgdb_auto_load_klds()' routine which is invoked during
startup that walks the list of linker files and tries to find a matching
kld on disk for each non-kernel kld. If a kld file is found, then it
is added as if the 'add-kld' command is invoked. One change from
'add-kld' is that this method attempts to use the 'pathname' from the
linker_file structure first to try to load the file. If that fails
it then looks in the kernel directory followed by the directories in
the module path.
- Move the kld file suffix handling into a separate routine so that it
can be called standalone and to reduce duplicate code in find_kld_path().
- Cache the offsets of members of 'struct linker_file' during startup
instead of computing them for each 'add-kld'.
- Use GDB's target_read_string() instead of direct KVM access.
- Add all resident sections from a kld by using bfd_map_over_sections() to
build the section list rather than just adding symbols for ".text",
".data", ".bss", and ".rodata".
- Change the 'add-kld' command to do a y/n prompt before adding the
symbols when run interactively to match 'add-symbol-file'.

symbols to be present now do explicitly warnx() about the missing symbol.
crash dumps with kernel modules. The command is basically a wrapper
around add-symbol-file except that it uses the kernel linker data
structures and the ELF section headers of the kld to calculate the
section addresses add-symbol-file needs.
The 'kld' parameter may either be an absolute path or a relative path.
kgdb looks for the kld in several locations checking for variants with
".symbols" or ".debug" suffixes in each location. The first location it
tries is just opening the specified path (this handles absolute paths and
looks for the kld relative to the current directory otherwise). Next
it tries to find the module in the same directory of the kernel image
being used. If that fails it extracts the kern.module_path from the
kernel being debugged and looks in each of those paths.
The upshot is that for the common cases of debugging /boot/kernel/kernel
where the module is in either /boot/kernel or /boot/modules one can merely
do 'add-kld foo.ko'.

the current thread to lookup the base address of the TSS used for the

of the TSS similar to how the current trapframe unwinder fetches

Some ports will install with compressed manpages. man handles
this by looking for the .gz version of a man source file.
It is also common to include other files with the .so

Traditionally ports have had to handle this by either not
compressing the manpages, or using the _MLINKS macro in the
port makefile to create symlinks to the actual source file,
rather than using .so versions. Notably, the current version
of Xorg port breaks. See ports/113096 and ports/115845.

that the build failure was caused by a computer/sources date/time
mismatch that caused GCC tools to be mistakenly rebuilt again at
an inappropriate time during buildworld, re-linking them against
new libraries instead of host's installed libraries and thus making
them not runnable by the host. Normally they are only built in
the early stage of buildworld (build-tools) that links them against
shared libraries of the host, but if either the system clock or
modification date/time on source files is set incorrectly, make(1)
can be foolished into thinking that tools are stale and will rebuild
them again, now in the "target" environment which is not suitable
for building helper apps that are to be run during buildworld.

list of frame sniffers so that trapframes can be detected. The kluge
is needed because this version of gdb only supports appending a
sniffer to the list of sniffers and the moment kgdb gets a chance to
add its own frame sniffer, the target's default frame sniffer is
already in the list. Since the default frame sniffer claims any
frame thrown at it, kgdb's frame sniffer never gets to smell (a
process much akin to tasting, but with lesser chance of hurling :-)
This commit adds dummy frame sniffers that never claim a frame and

- Don't assume there's a current thread. We're not initialized
