Feel free to modify the script and add such debug/tweaks if you find
it useful.

Hmm... interesting. Perhaps the problem is on regexes like this:

	/^(?^:^/sys/devices/pci.*.*.*.*\:.*.*/0000\:.*.*\:.*.*..*/dma/dma.*chan.*/quickdata/cap$)$/

Which actually represents this What:
	/sys/devices/pciXXXX:XX/0000:XX:XX.X/dma/dma<n>chan<n>/quickdata/cap

The script could have done a better job escaping "." character on
it (but that is not too trivial) and grouping altogether ".*" 
repetitions, although, in this specific case, probably the best
regex would be, instead:

	/sys/devices/pci[\da-f:\.]+/dma/dma\d+chan\d+/quickdata/cap

One possible long-term solution would be to directly use regexes 
directly on "What" fields inside Documentation/ABI, but on some parts
this would require some changes, like, for instance:

	/sys/bus/usb/devices/<busnum>-<devnum>:<config num>.<interface num>/<hid-bus>:<vendor-id>:<product-id>.<num>/kone/roccatkone<minor>/weight

Ok, we could likely use capture groups like:

	(?<NAME>pattern)

but IMO that would make it a lot harder to be understood by humans.

No, because it uses a lot of hashes in order to speed it up. Yet,
it shouldn't be hard - nor it would significantly affect the processing
time - to make it more deterministic. See the enclosed path.

Thanks!

Yeah, that can help. Feel free to send it to me.

Btw, I just got an arm64 server with 128 CPUs for testing. I'm trying
to allocate also a big x86 server here, but I'm not sure if it is AMD or
Intel.

Thanks,

[PATCH] scripts: get_abi.pl: make undefined search more deterministic

Sort keys on hashes during undefined search, in order to
make the script more deterministic.
