Add a function or extend printf to dump a kernel structure in a human readable
format, similar to what gdb can do. Does dwarf give us enough info to do this
without requiring the script to specify the structure type?
For example, something like this:
print_struct($sock)
where $sock is a pointer to a struct socket could output this:
{
state = 1,
flags = 6,
ops = 0x83337444,
fasync_list = 0x84435355,
file = 0x54338234,
sk = 0x73322556,
wait = {
lock = 1,
task_list = {
next = 0x822334455,
prev = 0x855443322
},
},
type = 0
}

Another possible syntax for this is inspired by the $$vars introduced
recently. Expanding struct contents could be represented like so:
$var$ => a string representation of $var's fields: like
0xfoo
or {.foo=0xbeef, .zoo=0xp00}
To control the depth of nesting expansion, we could add extra "$"s at the end:
$var$$ => {.foo=0xbeef, .bar={.so=0x44, .po=0x848}}
This could compose with the $$ variables too:
$$vars$ => var1=0xdead var2={.foo=0xbeef, .zoo=0xp00}

How about $$$var syntax?
It also could compose $$vars as $$$vars, or $$$parms.
and depth also be increased by adding $. ($$$$var)

I like latter format :-)
Thanks,
