Subject: [PATCH v11 18/28] scripts/gdb: Add lx_current convenience function
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 07:46:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9da8dd2f93b36b4342a842e0bed67b3ff95a66f5.1422514006.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com> (raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1422514006.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

This is a shorthand for *$lx_per_cpu("current_task"), i.e. a convenience
function to retrieve the currently running task of the active context.
