These commands had a number of issues. They weren't evaluating their
arguments (eg, you couldn't use a symbol name instead of a number), and
they weren't explicitly using hex when evaluating numbers, so they were
getting incorrect values when the default radix was not 10.
The j6tw (j6 table walk) command to debug page tables was throwing an
exception for an integer that was too big when the default radix was 16,
because it would interpret ints as hex even without the 0x prefix. Now
j6tw explicitly converts to hex and uses the prefix to be explicit.
When setting a radix other than 10, the j6stack command will start
adding the wrong values - make sure to specify a radix for the offset
explicitly.
Also show the frame pointer for each frame with the j6bt command, and
don't throw exceptions if the name of the block is unknown.
Added the command "j6tw <pml4> <addr>" which takes any arguments that
evaluate to addresses or integers. It displays the full breakdown of the
page table walk for the given address, with flags.
Improve the j6stack command in two ways: first, swap the order of the
arguments, as depth is much more likely to be changed. Second, on any
exception accessing memory in the stack, print the exception and
continue instead of failing the whole command.
GDB works far better now with QEMU's `-S` flag. No longer does it
complain about changing the target from 32 to 64 bits. Get rid of the
old `waiting` loop and `sleep` call in the GDB config for the kernel.
