When .config does not exist, Kconfig tries to load a file listed in KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST instead. However, since commit b75b0a819af9 ("kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable"), warning messages have displayed an incorrect file name in such cases. Below is a demonstration using Debian Trixie. While loading /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64, the warning messages incorrectly show .config as the file name. With this commit, the correct file name is displayed in warnings. [Before] $ rm -f .config $ make config # # using defaults found in /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64 # .config:6804:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for FB_BACKLIGHT .config:9895:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for ANDROID_BINDER_IPC [After] $ rm -f .config $ make config # # using defaults found in /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64 # /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64:6804:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for FB_BACKLIGHT /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64:9895:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for ANDROID_BINDER_IPC Fixes: b75b0a819af9 ("kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c index 4286d5e7f95dc..3b55e7a4131d9 100644 --- a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c +++ b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c @@ -360,10 +360,12 @@ int conf_read_simple(const char *name, int def) *p = '\0'; - in = zconf_fopen(env); + name = env; + + in = zconf_fopen(name); if (in) { conf_message("using defaults found in %s", - env); + name); goto load; }
