[PATCH 8/8] gdb: Get correct mod variable value


From: Glenn Washburn
Subject: [PATCH 8/8] gdb: Get correct mod variable value
Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2022 21:42:45 -0600

For some reason, GDB is breaking on grub_dl_add() before the function has
setup its stack frame, but GDB thinks it has. So the value of mod is bogus.
To get the correct value, create a one-time break on grub_dl_get(), which is
the first line of grub_dl_add(). When this break point hits, grub_dl_add()
will have finished setting up it stack frame. But at this point we will be
in grub_dl_get()'s stack frame. So go one frame up, which will be
grub_dl_add(), to get mod's value.
