b447e02548 Revert "scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser"
This reverts commit e127a73d41 ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree
Parser")

The python implementation of radix-tree was merged at the same time as
the radix-tree system was heavily reworked from commit e9256efcc8
("radix-tree: introduce radix_tree_empty") to 3bcadd6fa6 ("radix-tree:
free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse") and no longer
functions, but also prevents other gdb scripts from loading.

This functionality has not yet hit a release, so simply remove it for
now

552ab2a3ea scripts/gdb: Perform path expansion to lx-symbol's arguments
Python doesn't do automatic expansion of paths.  In case one passes path
of the from ~/foo/bar the gdb scripts won't automatically expand that
and as a result the symbols files won't be loaded.

Fix this by explicitly expanding all paths which begin with "~"

The autogenerated constants.py file was only being built on the initial

CPP hooks, we can successfully use the call if_changed_dep rules to
determine when to rebuild the file based on it's inclusions.

b3b0842985 scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3
The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print
successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes
for each line with a b'<text>' marker.

To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default
to 'UTF-8'

d21d5b9eb0 scripts/gdb: fix issue with dmesg.py and python 3.X
When built against Python 3, GDB differs in the return type for its
read_memory function, causing the lx-dmesg command to fail.

Now that we have an improved read_16() we can use the new
read_memoryview() abstraction to make lx-dmesg return valid data on both
current Python APIs

Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

321958d971 scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scripts
Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type
for the arguments.

When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built
with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str'
for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ).

Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object
back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X .

Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

9f66dee720 scripts/gdb: add lx_thread_info_by_pid helper
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

e127a73d41 scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser
Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers
indexed by integer values.  This structure is utilised across many
structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and
several filesystems.

This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given
its head node.

Usage:

The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.

The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast
correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure.

For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:

 (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)

e78f3d70b3 scripts/gdb: provide exception catching parser
If we attempt to read a value that is not available to GDB, an exception
is raised.  Most of the time, this is a good thing; however on occasion
we will want to be able to determine if a symbol is available.

By catching the exception to simply return None, we can determine if we
tried to read an invalid value, without the exception taking our
execution context away from us
