[PATCH 0/3] get_abi: improve message output and fix a regression

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Hi Greg,

As promised on

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210928120304.62319fba@coco.lan/T/#u

I'm adding progress info when  get_abi.pl is checking for undefined ABI symbols
on patches 1 and 2.

That will help not only to identify what is causing delays on the script, but also
to notify the user that processing it could take some time on some systems.

If you run it on your big server with:

  scripts/get_abi.pl undefined 2>logs

The "logs" file will contain timestamps relative to the time the script started to
do the regex matches for sysfs files. It should be printing one line every
time the progress completes 1% or one second after the last progress output.

-

Patch 3 is just a small fix for an issue introduced by an earlier change at
the script (unrelated to the other two patches).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (3):
  scripts:: use STDERR for search-string and show-hints
  scripts: get_abi.pl: show progress
  ABI: evm: place a second what at the next line
