kconfig: Clean up modules handling and fix crash
Kconfig currently doesn't handle 'm' appearing in a Kconfig file before
the modules symbol is defined (the symbol with 'option modules'). The
problem is the following code, which runs during parsing:
/* change 'm' into 'm' && MODULES */
if (e->left.sym == &symbol_mod)
return expr_alloc_and(e, expr_alloc_symbol(modules_sym));
If the modules symbol has not yet been defined, modules_sym is NULL,
giving an invalid expression.
Here is a test file where both BEFORE_1 and BEFORE_2 trigger a segfault.
If the modules symbol is removed, all symbols trigger segfaults.
config BEFORE_1
def_tristate y if m
if m
config BEFORE_2
def_tristate y
endif
config MODULES
def_bool y
option modules
config AFTER_1
def_tristate y if m
if m
config AFTER_2
def_tristate y
endif
Fix the issue by rewriting 'm' in menu_finalize() instead. This function
runs after parsing and is the proper place to do it. The following
existing code in conf_parse() in zconf.y ensures that the modules symbol
exists at that point:
if (!modules_sym)
modules_sym = sym_find( "n" );
...
menu_finalize(&rootmenu);
The following tests were done to ensure no functional changes for
configurations that don't reference 'm' before the modules symbol:
- zconfdump(stdout) was run with ARCH=x86 and ARCH=arm before
and after the change and verified to produce identical output.
This function prints all symbols, choices, and menus together
with their properties and their dependency expressions. A
rewritten 'm' appears as 'm && MODULES'.
A small annoyance is that the assert(len != 0) in xfwrite()
needs to be disabled in order to use zconfdump(), because it
chokes on e.g. 'default ""'.
- The Kconfiglib test suite was run to indirectly verify that
alldefconfig, allyesconfig, allnoconfig, and all defconfigs in
the kernel still generate the same final .config.
- Valgrind was used to check for memory errors and (new) memory
leaks.
