2015-03-24checkkconfigsymbols.py: fix sorted outputValentin Rothberg1-5/+7
Commit b1a3f243485f ("checkkconfigsymbols.py: make it Git aware") mistakenly removed to print undefined Kconfig symbols in alphabetical order. Furthermore, the script does not print anything anymore when the entire tree is checked (i.e., when no commit is specified). This patch restores the sorted output and adds the missing print for the default case. Additionally, the file lists are now sorted as well which (a) makes it easier to read and (b) makes the output deterministic.

2015-03-16checkkconfigsymbols.py: make it Git awareValentin Rothberg1-6/+132
The script now supports to check a specified commit or a specified range of commits (i.e., commit1..commit2). Developers and maintainers are encouraged to use this functionality before sending or merging patches to avoid potential bugs and to keep the code, documentation, etc. clean. This patch adds the following options to the script: -c COMMIT, --commit=COMMIT Check if the specified commit (hash) introduces undefined Kconfig symbols. -d DIFF, --diff=DIFF Diff undefined symbols between two commits. The input format bases on Git log's 'commmit1..commit2'. --force Reset current Git tree even when it's dirty. Note that the first two options require to 'git reset --hard' the user's Git tree. This hard reset is necessary to keep the script fast, but it can lead to the loss of uncommitted data. Hence, the script aborts in case it is executed in a dirty tree. It won't abort if '--force' is passed. If neither -c nor -d is specified, the script defaults to check the entire local tree (i.e., the previous behavior).

2015-03-09checkkconfigsymbols.py: filter reports for tools/Valentin Rothberg1-3/+4
Recent changes to the build system of tools suggest to filter reports for the entire tools directory. Various C preprocessor identifiers are prefixed with CONFIG_ but are NOT defined in Kconfig but in Makefiles in the tools directory. Such identifiers are false positives for most static analysis tools (i.e., scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py) since the CONFIG_ prefix and the _MODULE suffix is reserved for Kconfig features in CPP and Make syntax.

2014-11-09checkkconfigsymbols.py: improve detection of defectsValentin Rothberg1-30/+27
This patch improves the detection of defects by updating the regular expression to find Kconfig identifiers in the source code, and fixes some cases of false positives. The following changes are made: - improve regex to find Kconfig identifiers in the source - exclude .log files from analysis - improve filtering of false positives (e.g, CONFIG_XXX) - change output format from (feature:\tlist) to (feature\tlist) Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <valentinrothberg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-11-07checkkconfigsymbols.sh: reimplementation in pythonValentin Rothberg1-0/+142
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 UNDEFINED´´). Furthermore, it generates false positives. 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 previous false positives (b) additionally detects broken references in Kconfig and all non-Kconfig files, such as Kbuild, .[cSh], .txt, .sh, defconfig, etc. (c) is up to 75 times faster than the shell script (d) only checks files under version control The new script reduces the runtime on my machine (i7-2620M, 8GB RAM, SSD) from 3m47s to 0m3s, and reports 938 broken references in Linux v3.17-rc1; 419 additional reports of which 16 are located in Kconfig files, 287 in defconfigs, 63 in ./Documentation, 1 in Kbuild. Moreover, we intentionally include references in 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 */´´). These references can be misleading and should be removed or replaced. Note that the output format changed from (file list <tab> feature) to (feature <tab> file list) as it simplifies the detection of the Kconfig feature for long file lists.
