[PATCH v3 00/30]Change wildcards on ABI files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The ABI files are meant to be parsed via a script (scripts/get_abi.pl).

A new improvement on it will allow it to help to detect if an ABI description
is missing, or if the What: field won't match the actual location of the symbol.

In order for get_abi.pl to convert What: into regex, changes are needed on
existing ABI files, as the conversion should not be ambiguous.

One alternative would be to convert everything into regexes, but this
would generate a huge amount of patches/changes. So, instead, let's
touch only the ABI files that aren't following the de-facto wildcard 
standards already found on most of the ABI files, e. g.:

	/.../
	*
	<foo>
	(option1|option2)
	X
	Y
	Z
	[0-9] (and variants)

v3:
   - Added a new patch for sysfs-class-rapidio;
   - sysfs-class-typec had a typo, instead of a wildcard;
   - sysfs-bus-soundwire-* had some additional What to be fixed;
   - added some reviewed-by/acked-by tags.

v2:
   - Added several patches to address uppercase "N" meaning
     as a wildcard.
