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.
