[ Upstream commite3c8d33e0d] The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an int or a s64 value. Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t. On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the struct prb_desc_ring: struct prb_desc_ring { ... atomic_long_t tail_id; }; causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error: Python Exception <class 'IndexError'>: index out of range Error occurred in Python: index out of range Query the really used atomic_long_t counter type size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
