Directly read the current CPU number from the kgdb_active variable. Before, the active CPU was obtained through the current task, which required searching the task list for the pid of GDB's selected thread. Obtaining the pid was buggy: GDB may use selected_thread().ptid[1] (LWPID) instead of .ptid[2] (TID) to store the threads pid; see https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/Threads-In-Python.html As a result, the detection could return the wrong CPU number, leading to incorrect results for $lx_per_cpu and $lx_current. As a side effect, the patch significantly speeds up $lx_per_cpu and $lx_current in KGDB by avoiding the task-list iteration.

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 reStructuredText 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.
