[PATCH 4/6] scripts/gdb: Perform path expansion to lx-symbol's arguments

From: Kieran Bingham
Date: Tue Jun 28 2016 - 11:24:04 EST


From: Nikolay Borisov <n.borisov.lkml@xxxxxxxxx>

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 "~"
