Currently, in xmon, there is no obvious way to get an address for a percpu symbol for a particular cpu. Having such an ability would be good for debugging the system when percpu variables got involved. Therefore, this patch introduces a new xmon command "lp" to lookup the address for percpu symbols. Usage of "lp" is similar to "ls", except that we could add a cpu number to choose the variable of which cpu we want to lookup. If no cpu number is given, lookup for current cpu.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
