[PATCH] scripts/gdb: relax requirement on symlink location
From: Tobias Waldekranz
Date: Fri Oct 14 2016 - 06:07:16 EST
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.
