A regex-based parser for configurability options in Linux Makefiles

Hi there, I'm Andreas

👨‍💻 I'm currently working as an Embedded Linux Software Consultant at Siemens Technology.

🎓 For my PhD, I researched Linux-based systems, particularly how to tailor them to their deployment scenarios. My thesis Automated Tailoring of System Software Stacks has now been published in the institutional repository of Leibniz Universität Hannover.

🐧 My research tools are published here as open source software, and working on them has led to multiple contributions to the used libraries.

👨‍🏫 During my years at the Chair of Computer Science 4 at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, I enjoyed teaching the exercises for the Operating Systems and Advanced Operating Systems classes in which students implement their own operating system for the x86 architecture, including preemptive scheduling, memory protection and privilege levels.

kbuildparser's Issues

Can not work in the root directory of linux kernel

Hi, thanks for your great tool first.
But I can not make it work when the target directory is the linux root directory.

Like this,

Meanwhile, when i specify the directory with some sub-directory, it can work normally. like this

• The Linux Source Kernel: 5.18.0
• The Root Makefile and the top kbuild file are attached as follow:

Looking for
Kbuild&&Makefile.zip
ward to your response.

Verifying Parser Output: Missing files

Greetings,
I have been evaluating this tool for usage and used it on kernel version 5.4.35 for testing.
After I build the kernel I indexed all the .o files and checked for their existence in the parsers output.
There seem to be ~200 (depending on kernel version) files that are not included in the parsers output and was hoping you could shed some light on why that may be.

Attached is a listing of files not found in the output.
Here are the first 13:
net/llc/llc.mod.c
net/llc/llc.c
net/bridge/bridge.mod.c
net/bridge/bridge.c
net/802/p8022.mod.c
net/802/psnap.mod.c
net/802/stp.mod.c
.tmp_kallsyms2.c
lib/lib-ksyms.c
crypto/crypto_null.mod.c
crypto/aead.mod.c
crypto/crypto_engine.mod.c
arch/arm64/lib/memset.c
