The patch titled
Subject: scripts/gdb: add internal helper and convenience function for per-cpu lookup
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: scripts/gdb: add internal helper and convenience function for per-cpu lookup
This function allows to obtain a per-cpu variable, either of the current
or an explicitly specified CPU.
Note: sparc64 version is untested.
