Currently kgdbts can get stuck waiting for do_sys_open() to be called in some of the current tests. This is because C compilers often automatically inline this function, which is a very thin wrapper around do_sys_openat2(), into some of its callers. gcc-10 does this on (at least) both x86 and arm64. We can fix the test suite by placing the breakpoints on do_sys_openat2() instead since that isn't (currently) inlined. However do_sys_openat2() is a static function so we cannot simply use an addressof. Since we are testing debug machinery it is acceptable to use kallsyms to lookup a suitable address because this is more or less what kdb does in the same circumstances. Re-implement lookup_addr() to be based on kallsyms rather than function pointers.

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.
