Hi,
I've tested the below on both linux-6.5.7 and mainline linux-6.6-rc6, both of which seem to have the same issue.
GDB 13.2 isn't able to load vmlinux-gdb.py as it throws the following:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/debug_kernel/linux-6.6-rc6/vmlinux-gdb.py", line 25, in <module> import linux.constants File "/home/user/debug_kernel/linux-6.6-rc6/scripts/gdb/linux/constants.py", line 11, in <module> LX_hrtimer_resolution = gdb.parse_and_eval("hrtimer_resolution") gdb.error: 'hrtimer_resolution' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
I've built-linux like so:
make defconfig scripts/config --disable SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS scripts/config --disable SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS scripts/config --set-str SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS "" scripts/config -e CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO -e CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS -e CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER make -j$(nproc) make scripts_gdb
$ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0 $ gdb --version GNU gdb (GDB) 13.2
This is my first time submitting a bug to the LK mailing list, please let me know if this format is not correct or if you need more information.
Thanks.

Has this ever worked with any kernel version you have tried? If so, what was the last good version? Can you run 'git bisect' to find the offending commit?
thanks,

I happen to run into this myself recently while upgrading a .config: CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is now selected by DEBUG_INFO_DWARF*. I've then turned on DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5, and things worked again.

Format is fine, just general linux-kernel@vger... reaches a broader audience and is more appropriate for such a question.
