The tasks module already provides helpers to find the task struct by pid, and the thread_info by task struct; however this is cumbersome to utilise on the gdb commandline. Wrap these two functionalities together in an extra single helper to allow exploring the thread info, from a PID value Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@linaro.org> --- scripts/gdb/linux/tasks.py | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) -- 2.5.0
