[PATCH] scripts/tags.sh: Prevent binary files appearing in cscope.files

[PATCH] scripts/tags.sh: Prevent binary files appearing in cscope.files

[Sergei Litvin]

PROBLEM

When executing the command `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope`, the resulting
`cscope.files` file contains filenames with the extensions *.rlib, *.rmeta,
and *.so.

SOLUTION

Modify the regular expression in the `all_compiled_sources()` function so
that only files with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S, and *.rs are accepted.

We don't typically use titles like these in commits. (Same for the other patch.)

Missing Signed-off-by -- the one you wrote is below, in the part that
doesn't go into the commit, i.e. after the `---` line. (Same for the
other patch.)

Also consider using `-v2` in `git format-patch` to annotate which version it is.

By the way, this sounds like it could be backported? i.e. perhaps we
want a Fixes: tag and Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel

[PATCH] scripts/tags.sh: Add support for rust source files

[Sergei Litvin]

PROBLEM

When executing the command `make cscope`, the `cscope.files` file generated
by it includes only filenames with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S and not includes
filenames with *.rs extensions.

SOLUTION

Modify the functions `find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
`find_include_sources()`, and `find_other_sources()` so that they can accept an
unlimited number of filename patterns as parameters for the search. Add the
`setup_name_pattern()` function to convert these filename pattern parameters
into a list of parameters that can be passed to the `find` utility via the new
`pattern` variable.

This causes `make cscope` command to generate a `cscope.files` file that
contains *.rs files along with *.h, *.c, *.S
