[PATCH 2/8] scripts/gdb: Provide a kernel list item generators

Show all headers | View raw

Facilitate linked-list items by providing a generator to return
the dereferenced, and type-cast objects from a kernel linked list

CC: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@linaro.org>

Changes since v1:
 * items function removed, and replaced with Jeff Mahoney's cleaner
   implementations of list_for_each, and list_for_each_entry
