Currently, fixdep skips parsing include/linux/kconfig.h, but if it parsed it, it would translate the following code in kconfig.h
config_enabled(CONFIG_VAL(option##_MODULE) into: $(wildcard include/config/option##/module.h) When Kbuild includes .*.cmd, it would emit the following error: *** unterminated call to function 'wildcard': missing ')'. Stop. This issue prevents us from importing the upstream Linux commit 638e69cf2230 ("fixdep: do not ignore kconfig.h"). Fix this by handling only alphanumerical characters and underscores. This makes sense because they match to the valid character sets in Kconfig symbols. As a side-note, you can reproduce this issue only on GNU Make <= 4.2.1 For GNU Make <= 4.2.1, the '#' always means the start of a comment. Hence, GNU Make thinks the closing ')' is missing. The following commit in GNU Make changed how it handles '#' in function invocations. So, this does not happen for GNU Make 4.3 | commit c6966b323811c37acedff05b576b907b06aea5f4 | Author: Paul Smith <psm...@gnu.org> | Date: Thu Dec 22 18:47:26 2016 -0500 | | [SV 20513] Un-escaped # are not comments in function invocations Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahi...@kernel.org> --- This patch is applicable to the current upstream code. scripts/basic/fixdep.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/basic/fixdep.c b/scripts/basic/fixdep.c index da7fb2cd4dde..6a668f114096 100644 --- a/scripts/basic/fixdep.c +++ b/scripts/basic/fixdep.c @@ -262,7 +262,7 @@ static void parse_config_file(const char *map, size_t len) (q - p == 3 && !memcmp(p, "VAL(", 4))) { p = q + 1; for (q = p; q < map + len; q++) - if (*q == ')') + if (!(isalnum(*q) || *q == '_')) goto found2; continue; -- 2.17.1
