[PATCH v2] checkkconfigsymbols.sh: reimplementation in python

From: Valentin Rothberg
Date: Sun Sep 21 2014 - 15:39:27 EST


The scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.sh script searches Kconfig features
in the source code that are not defined in Kconfig. Such identifiers
always evaluate to false and are the source of various kinds of bugs.
However, the shell script is slow and it does not detect such broken
references in Kbuild and Kconfig files (e.g., ``depends on UNDEFINEDÂÂ).
Furthermore, it generates false positives (4 of 526 in v3.17-rc1).
The script is also hard to read and understand, and is thereby difficult
to maintain.

This patch replaces the shell script with an implementation in Python,
which:
(a) detects the same bugs, but does not report false positives
(b) additionally detects broken references in Kconfig and Kbuild files
(c) is up to 75 times faster than the shell script

The new script reduces the runtime on my machine (i7-2620M, 8GB RAM, SSD)
from 3m47s to 0m3s, and reports 570 broken references in Linux v3.17-rc1;
49 additional reports of which 16 are located in Kconfig files.

Moreover, we intentionally include references in C comments, which have been
ignored until now. Such comments may be leftovers of features that have
been removed or renamed in Kconfig (e.g., ``#endif /* CONFIG_MPC52xx */ÂÂ).
These references can be misleading and should be removed or replaced.

Changelog:
v2: Fix of regural expressions
