[PATCH] scripts/tags.sh: Add support for rust source files

From: Sergei Litvin

Date: Sun Jul 05 2026 - 14:02:48 EST


PROBLEM

When executing the command `make cscope`, the `cscope.files` file generated
by it includes only filenames with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S and not includes
filenames with *.rs extensions.

SOLUTION

Modify the functions `find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
`find_include_sources()`, and `find_other_sources()` so that they can accept an
unlimited number of filename patterns as parameters for the search. Add the
`setup_name_pattern()` function to convert these filename pattern parameters
into a list of parameters that can be passed to the `find` utility via the new
`pattern` variable.

This causes `make cscope` command to generate a `cscope.files` file that
contains *.rs files along with *.h, *.c, *.S

This is the second part of this patch:

which I have split into two parts, as suggested by Nicolas Schier here:
