Subject: scripts/gdb: ensure the absolute path is generated on initial source
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:02:48 +0100
Post 'make scripts_gdb' a symbolic link to scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py is
created. Currently 'os.path.dirname(__file__)' does not generate the
absolute path to scripts/gdb resulting in the following:
(gdb) source vmlinux-gdb.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py", line 25, in <module>
import linux.utils
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'linux'
This patch ensures that the absolute path to scripts/gdb in relation to
the given file is generated so each module can be located accordingly.
