[PATCH v2] scripts/tags.sh: fix "make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope" command ends up with *.rlib, *.rmeta, *.so filenames in cscope.files

[Sergei Litvin]

When executing the command `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope`, the `cscope.files`
file generated by it includes filenames with the extensions *.rlib, *.rmeta,
and *.so (taken from *.cmd files, which, in turn, are generated from *.d
dependency files by the `fixdep` utility).

The commit message does not say "what" has changed (or "how"), only
the "why" (which is the most important part, but still... :)

In addition, please provide a changelog after the `---` line, i.e. why
did the patch change from v1? For instance, was it due to Sashiko's
feedback? Something else?

Finally, Cc'ing Kbuild.

Cheers,
Miguel

[PATCH v3] scripts/tags.sh: fix "make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope" command ends up with *.rlib, *.rmeta, *.so filenames in cscope.files

[Sergei Litvin]

PROBLEM

(1) When executing the command `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope`, the
`cscope.files` file generated by it includes filenames with the
extensions *.rlib, *.rmeta, and *.so (taken from *.cmd files, which, in turn,
are generated from *.d dependency files by the `fixdep` utility).

(2) 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

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

This causes `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope` command to generate the
`cscope.files` file that contains only files with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S,
and *.rs.

(2) Modify the functions `find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
`find_include_sources()`, and `find_other_sources()` so that they no longer
accept the filename pattern as the last argument, but instead retrieve it from
the new variable `pattern` (analogous to the variables `ignore`, `prune`, and
`tree`) which includes *.rs along with *.h, *.c, *.S.

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

Changes since V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260530085821.19689-1-litvindev@gmail.com/

- The functions find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
`find_include_sources()`, and `find_other_sources()` have been modified rather
than having their calls duplicated to avoid redundant directory
traversals (suggested by Sashiko).

– The regular expression in the `all_compiled_sources()` function was improved
by adding a lookahead anchor (?=\s) to the first branch (also suggested by Sashiko).

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260530070631.14955-1-litvindev@gmail.com/

- In Version V1, the `-name` parameters to the `find` calls in the functions
`find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`, `find_include_sources()`,
and `find_other_sources()` were replaced by `-regextype posix-extended
-regex`. However, as noted by Sashiko, the `-regextype` option is a GNU-specific
extension; therefore, in V2, duplicate function calls were introduced instead.

`cscope.files` file generated by it includes filenames with the
extensions *.rlib, *.rmeta, and *.so (taken from *.cmd files, which, in turn,

This causes `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope` command to generate the
`cscope.files` file that contains only files with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S,
and *.rs.

(2) 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

Changes since V3:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260601211850.3378-1-litvindev@gmail.com/

In V3, the functions `find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
`find_include_sources()`, and `find_other_sources()` were modified so that they
no longer accept the filename pattern as the last argument, but instead retrieve
it from the new variable `pattern`. However, at the time, I had overlooked the
case where the `find_other_sources` function was called with the `Kconfig*`
parameter. And after Sashiko pointed this out to me, I decided to rewrite it in
the current version.

Changes since V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260530085821.19689-1-litvindev@gmail.com/

- The functions find_arch_sources()`, `find_arch_include_sources()`,
