Like this?
# Complain about RCU Tasks Trace used outside of BPF (and of course, RCU).
our $rcu_trace_funcs = qr{(?x:
rcu_read_lock_trace |
rcu_read_lock_trace_held |
rcu_read_unlock_trace |
call_rcu_tasks_trace |
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace |
rcu_barrier_tasks_trace |
rcu_request_urgent_qs_task
)};
our $rcu_trace_paths = qr{(?x:
kernel/bfp/ |
include/linux/bpf |
net/bpf/ |
kernel/rcu/ |
include/linux/rcu
)};
if ($line =~ /$rcu_trace_funcs/) {
if ($realfile !~ m@...cu_trace_paths@) {
WARN("RCU_TASKS_TRACE",
"use of RCU tasks trace is incorrect outside BPF or core RCU code\n" . $herecurr);
}
}
No, that is definitely wrong. It has lost track of the list of pathnames,
thus complaining about uses of those functions in files where their use
is permitted.
But this seems to work:
# Complain about RCU Tasks Trace used outside of BPF (and of course, RCU).
our $rcu_trace_funcs = qr{(?x:
rcu_read_lock_trace |
rcu_read_lock_trace_held |
rcu_read_unlock_trace |
call_rcu_tasks_trace |
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace |
rcu_barrier_tasks_trace |
rcu_request_urgent_qs_task
)};
if ($line =~ /\b$rcu_trace_funcs\s*\(/) {
if ($realfile !~ m@...rnel/bpf@ &&
$realfile !~ m@...clude/linux/bpf@ &&
$realfile !~ m@...t/bpf@ &&
$realfile !~ m@...rnel/rcu@ &&
$realfile !~ m@...clude/linux/rcu@) {
WARN("RCU_TASKS_TRACE",
"use of RCU tasks trace is incorrect outside BPF or core RCU code\n" . $herecurr);
}
}
Maybe the "^" needs to be distributed into $rcu_trace_paths?
# Complain about RCU Tasks Trace used outside of BPF (and of course, RCU).
our $rcu_trace_funcs = qr{(?x:
rcu_read_lock_trace |
rcu_read_lock_trace_held |
rcu_read_unlock_trace |
call_rcu_tasks_trace |
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace |
rcu_barrier_tasks_trace |
rcu_request_urgent_qs_task
)};
our $rcu_trace_paths = qr{(?x:
^kernel/bfp/ |
^include/linux/bpf |
^net/bpf/ |
^kernel/rcu/ |
^include/linux/rcu
)};
if ($line =~ /\b$rcu_trace_funcs\s*\(/) {
if ($realfile !~ m@...u_trace_paths@) {
WARN("RCU_TASKS_TRACE",
"use of RCU tasks trace is incorrect outside BPF or core RCU code\n" . $herecurr);
}
}
But no joy here, either. Which is no surprise, given that perl is
happy to distribute the "\b" and the "\s*\(" across the elements of
$rcu_trace_funcs. I tried a number of other variations, including
inverting the "if" condition "(!(... =~ ...))", inverting the "if"
condition via an empty "then" clause, replacing the "m@" with "/",
replacing the "|" in the "qr{}" with "&", and a few others.
Again, listing the pathnames explicitly in the second "if" condition
works just fine.
Help?
Thanx, Paul
