4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxxx> commit a78f70e8d65e88b9f631d073f68cb26dcd746298 upstream. The reference files use spaces to separate tokens, however, we must preserve spaces inside string literals. Currently the only case in the tree is struct edac_raw_error_desc in <linux/edac.h>: $ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes $ mv drivers/edac/amd64_edac.{symtypes,symref} $ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:527: warning: amd64_get_dram_hole_info: modversion changed because of changes in struct edac_raw_error_desc Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c +++ b/scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c @@ -423,13 +423,15 @@ static struct string_list *read_node(FIL struct string_list node = { .string = buffer, .tag = SYM_NORMAL }; - int c; + int c, in_string = 0; while ((c = fgetc(f)) != EOF) { - if (c == ' ') { + if (!in_string && c == ' ') { if (node.string == buffer) continue; break; + } else if (c == '"') { + in_string = !in_string; } else if (c == '\n') { if (node.string == buffer) return NULL;
