- .github: Ensure we only download the debug package that matches the kernel we
downloaded.
- aya: Constrain the breakpoint interface to only valid combinations of
options.
- test: Document what the test is actually doing for future readers who might
be unfamiliar with modprobe_path.
For some reason, the aarch64 6.1 debian kernel was not compiled with
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y, and the locations of globals are not available in
kallsyms. To attach breakpoints to these symbols in the test pipeline, we need
to read them from System.map and apply the kaslr offset to get their real
address. The System.map file is not provided in the kernel package by default,
so we need to extract it from the corresponding debug package.
- .github: pull the corresponding debug packages down as well as regular
kernels
- test: attach the perf_event_bp test breakpoint to the modprobe_path address
in kallsyms if present, or by applying the kaslr offset to the System.map
address if not found
- xtask: preferentially extract the System.map file from the debug package, if
available
Bundle handling of Debian kernel archives into xtask so callers can pipe
the raw `.deb` paths straight into `cargo xtask integration-test vm …`.
The driver now extracts each archive into `<cache>/kernel-archives`,
locates the matching `vmlinuz-*`, `lib/modules/*`, and config files, and
feeds those into the initramfs build without requiring the user to
pre-run dpkg/tar. With this in place we drop
`.github/scripts/find_kernels.py`, simplify AGENTS.md/CI instructions to
use `find test/.tmp -name '*.deb'`, remove the gnu-tar requirement we no
longer need, and add `tar` as a workspace dependency for the extractor.
The init module contains a small init system for running our integration
tests against a kernel. While we don't need a full-blown linux distro,
we do need some utilities.
Once such utility is `modprobe` which allows us to load kernel modules.
Rather than create a new module for this utility, I've instead
refactored `init` into `test-distro` which is a module that contains
multiple binaries.
The xtask code has been adjusted to ensure these binaries are inserted
into the correct places in our cpio archive, as well as bringing in the
kernel modules.

We're seeing 429 from Github trying to download gen_init_cpio, so cache
it using actions cache. Since I'm here add this for kernel images as
well to save time waiting on slow Debian servers.
