Subject: scripts/gdb: fix lx-timerlist for Python3
From: Peng Liu <liupeng17@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7362042f3556528e9e9b1eb5ce8d7a3a6331476b upstream.
Below incompatibilities between Python2 and Python3 made lx-timerlist fail
to run under Python3.
o xrange() is replaced by range() in Python3
o bytes and str are different types in Python3
o the return value of Inferior.read_memory() is memoryview object in
Python3
akpm: cc stable so that older kernels are properly debuggable under newer
Python.
