Subject: libdrgn: kdump: simplify getting the PRSTATUS attributes
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: 885a3209f3603593fb89327c1072f94e5862ffbb
Since libkdumpfile commit 5b044292abe9 ("Clarify and fix attribute data
lifetime") changes the lifetime of attribute values retrieved with
kdump_attr_ref_get(), the extra reference would keep the PRSTATUS blob
around even after kdump_free().
However, the attribute hierarchy cannot change while iterating over the
PRSTATUS attributes, so it is not necessary to take an attribute reference
and we can use kdump_get_typed_attr().
The attribute blob itself should not change either, but it is a good idea
to keep its data pinned, because a raw pointer to it is stored in the
drgn_thread_set hash table. If some code tries to modify the PRSTATUS
attribute data, the attempt will fail with KDUMP_ERR_BUSY rather than leave
a dangling pointer in the hash table and possibly cause a UAF bug later.
The blob pin does not prevent freeing the blob when the blob reference
count reaches zero.
