Du Changbin aacb2ab111 scripts/gdb: fix lx-version string output ... [ Upstream commit b058809bfc8faeb7b7cae047666e23375a060059 ] A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when parsing variables. This has been reported [0], but we should ensure that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings. For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version' only prints one character. (gdb) lx-version L(gdb) This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).
