scripts/gdb: make get_thread_info accept pointers
get_thread_info ($lx_thread_info) only accepted a dereferenced task parameter. Passing a pointer to a task_struct (like $lx_per_cpu does with KGDB) threw an exception. With this patch, both (dereferenced values and pointers) are accepted. Before (on x86, KGDB): >>> p $lx_per_cpu(cpu_info) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scripts/gdb/linux/cpus.py", line 158, in invoke return per_cpu(var_ptr, cpu) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "./scripts/gdb/linux/cpus.py", line 42, in per_cpu cpu = get_current_cpu() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "./scripts/gdb/linux/cpus.py", line 33, in get_current_cpu return tasks.get_thread_info(tasks.get_task_by_pid(tid))['cpu'] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "./scripts/gdb/linux/tasks.py", line 88, in get_thread_info if task.type.fields()[0].type == thread_info_type.get_type(): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^ IndexError: list index out of range Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240425153501.749966-4-mail@florommel.de Signed-off-by: Florian Rommel <mail@florommel.de> Cc: Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> Cc: Deepak Gupta <debug@rivosinc.com> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Cc: Kieran Bingham <kbingham@kernel.org> Cc: Kuan-Ying Lee <Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.com> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
