This reverts commit e127a73d41ac ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree
Parser")The python implementation of radix-tree was merged at the same time as
the radix-tree system was heavily reworked from commit e9256efcc8e3
("radix-tree: introduce radix_tree_empty") to 3bcadd6fa6c4 ("radix-tree:
free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse") and no longer
functions, but also prevents other gdb scripts from loading.This functionality has not yet hit a release, so simply remove it for
nowLink: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467127337-11135-6-git-send-email-kieran@bingham.xyz

Python doesn't do automatic expansion of paths. In case one passes path
of the from ~/foo/bar the gdb scripts won't automatically expand that
and as a result the symbols files won't be loaded.Fix this by explicitly expanding all paths which begin with "~"

The autogenerated constants.py file was only being built on the initial

CPP hooks, we can successfully use the call if_changed_dep rules to

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers
indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many
structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and
several filesystems.This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given
its head node.Usage:
The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast
correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure.For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:(gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)

incorrectly reported as a CONSTANT_COMPARISON.ie: "if (table[i].PANELID == tempdx)"
