For the gdb command lx-dmesg, the entire descriptor, info, and text data regions are read into memory before printing any records. For large kernel log buffers, this not only causes a huge delay before seeing any records, but it may also lead to python errors of too much memory allocation. Rather than reading in all these regions in advance, read them as needed and only read the regions for the particular record that is being printed. The gdb macro "dmesg" in Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/gdbmacros.txt already prints out the kernel log buffer like this.

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.
