[PATCH v8 15/22] scripts/gdb: Add internal helper and convenience function to retrieve thread_info

From: Jan Kiszka
Date: Fri Jun 06 2014 - 13:28:41 EST


Add the internal helper get_thread_info that calculates the thread_info
from a given task variable. Also export this service as a convenience
function.

Note: ia64 version is untested.
