Hi Yacov,

you can use the following repository which contains updated code for recent
kernels. I tested it last year and IIRC it was working fine.

https://github.com/martinezjavier/ldd3

It is now possibly a bit out of date for the 5.1 kernel, but whatever you
encounter will probably be easier to fix than the original code of the book.

Best,
Elias
