      scripts/gdb: add infrastructure · 3ee7b3fa

      This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
      helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
      
      The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
      opening <objfile>.  Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
      main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
      
      The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
      commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
      compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
      
      Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
      depend on gdb >= 7.2.
      
      This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.
