There are two callers of file_lookup(), but there is no more reason to expand the given path. [1] zconf_initscan() This is used to open the first Kconfig. sym_expand_string_value() has never been used in a useful way here; before opening the first Kconfig file, obviously there is no symbol to expand. If you use expand_string_value() instead, environments in KBUILD_KCONFIG would be expanded, but I do not see practical benefits for that. [2] zconf_nextfile() This is used to open the next file from 'source' statement. Symbols in the path like "arch/$SRCARCH/Kconfig" needed expanding, but it was replaced with the direct environment expansion. The environment has already been expanded before the token is passed to the parser. By the way, file_lookup() was already buggy; it expanded a given path, but it used the path before expansion for look-up: if (!strcmp(name, file->name)) { Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v3: None Changes in v2: - Simplify the patch.
