[PATCHv4 02/12] scripts/gdb: Provide 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

Changes since v3:
 - GdbError strings formatted on single line
 - list_head type corrected to head.type
 - .format() style preferred over %
