Some features in drgn require architecture-specific support. The current status
of this support is:

..rubric:: Key
..[1] Support for loading debugging symbols for Linux kernel modules.
..[2] Support for capturing stack traces (:meth:`drgn.Program.stack_trace()`, :meth:`drgn.Thread.stack_trace()`).
..[3] Support for translating virtual addresses, which is required for reading from vmalloc/vmap and module memory in Linux kernel vmcores and for various helpers in :mod:`drgn.helpers.linux.mm`.
The listed architectures are recognized in :class:`drgn.Architecture`. Other
architectures are represented by :attr:`drgn.Architecture.UNKNOWN`. Features
not mentioned above should work on any architecture, listed or not.
Cross-Debugging
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
drgn can debug architectures different from the host. For example, you can
debug an AArch64 (kernel or userspace) core dump from an x86-64 machine.
Linux Kernel Versions
---------------------
drgn officially supports the current mainline, stable, and longterm kernel
releases from `kernel.org <https://www.kernel.org/>`_. (There may be some delay
before a new mainline version is fully supported.) End-of-life versions are
supported until it becomes too difficult to do so. The kernel versions
