strsep() is neither standard C nor POSIX and used outside the kernel code here. Using it here requires that the build host supports it out of the box which is e.g. not true for a Darwin build host and using a cross-compiler. This leads to: scripts/mod/modpost.c:145:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strsep' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] return strsep(stringp, "\n"); ^ and a segfault when running MODPOST. See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7219504 So let's add some lines of code separating the string at the next newline character instead of using strsep(). It does not hurt kernel size or speed since this code is run on the build host. Fixes: ac5100f5432967 ("modpost: add read_text_file() and get_line() helpers") Signed-off-by: H.
