gdb uses ptrace() to peek and poke bytes of the target's address space. The driver must implement an vm_ops->access() handler or else gdb will be unable to inspect the pointer and report it as out-of-bounds. Worse than useless as it causes immediate suspicion of the valid GTT pointer, distracting the poor programmer trying to find his bug. v2: Write-protect readonly objects (Matthew).

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.
