[PATCH 1/3] scripts/gdb/tasks: Fix lx-ps command error

From: Kuan-Ying Lee
Date: Mon Nov 27 2023 - 02:07:40 EST


Since commit 8e1f385104ac ("kill task_struct->thread_group") remove
the thread_group, we will encounter below issue.

(gdb) lx-ps
TASK PID COMM
0xffff800086503340 0 swapper/0
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named thread_group.
Error occurred in Python: There is no member named thread_group.

We use signal->thread_head to iterate all threads instead.

Fixes: 8e1f385104ac ("kill task_struct->thread_group")
