The patch titled Subject: scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was scripts-gdb-decode-bytestream-on-dmesg-for-python3.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kieran Bingham <kieran@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3 The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes for each line with a b'<text>' marker. To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default to 'UTF-8' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d67ccf93f2479c94cb3399262b9b796e0dbefcf2.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/gdb/linux/dmesg.py | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -puN scripts/gdb/linux/dmesg.py~scripts-gdb-decode-bytestream-on-dmesg-for-python3 scripts/gdb/linux/dmesg.py --- a/scripts/gdb/linux/dmesg.py~scripts-gdb-decode-bytestream-on-dmesg-for-python3 +++ a/scripts/gdb/linux/dmesg.py @@ -51,10 +51,10 @@ class LxDmesg(gdb.Command): continue text_len = utils.read_u16(log_buf[pos + 10:pos + 12]) - text = log_buf[pos + 16:pos + 16 + text_len] + text = log_buf[pos + 16:pos + 16 + text_len].decode() time_stamp = utils.read_u64(log_buf[pos:pos + 8]) - for line in memoryview(text).tobytes().splitlines(): + for line in text.splitlines(): gdb.write("[{time:12.6f}] {line}\n".format( time=time_stamp / 1000000000.0, line=line)) _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from kieran@xxxxxxxxxxx are -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
