Subject: [PATCH] scripts/gdb: relax requirement on symlink location
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 12:07:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161014100700.GA9188@gmail.com> (raw)
The current construct for inserting the `scripts/gdb/` directory into
the python path requires `vmlinux-gdb.py` to be symlinked in the root of
the kernel build tree.
By first resolving the symlink and inserting that path, the symlink can
be placed in an arbitrary directory.
