[PATCH v7 3/3] check-module-params: Introduce check-module-params.sh

From: John Moon
Date: Mon Dec 11 2023 - 21:04:13 EST


One part of maintaining backwards compatibility with older
userspace programs is avoiding changes to module parameters.

To that end, add a script (check-module-params.sh) which
performs a simple check of module parameter changes across
git references.

For example, if this module parameter:

module_param(max_nullfunc_tries, int, 0644);

...restricted its mode parameter:

module_param(max_nullfunc_tries, int, 0600);

The script would flag the change:

Module parameter "max_nullfunc_tries" in net/mac80211/mlme.c changed!
Original args: int,0644
New args: int,0600

- Added ability to filter out equivalent permission changes
(e.g. S_IRUGO -> 0444 is now considered compatible).
- Added flag to avoid filtering out equivalent permission changes
in case user doesn't have/want a host compiler.
- Added flag to skip flagging module param removals as this may
be too noisy in some cases.
- Fixed typos in log naming.

+$name - check for module parameter stability across git commits.
+
+By default, the script will check to make sure the latest commit (or current
+dirty changes) did not introduce changes when compared to HEAD^1. You can
+check against additional commit ranges with the -b and -p options.
+
+Usage: $name [-b BASE_REF] [-p PAST_REF] [-j N] [-l ERROR_LOG] [-P] [-R] [-q]
+
+Options:
+ -b BASE_REF Base git reference to use for comparison. If unspecified or empty,
+ will use any dirty changes in tree. If there are no dirty changes,
+ HEAD will be used.
+ -p PAST_REF Compare BASE_REF to PAST_REF (e.g. -p v6.1). If unspecified or empty,
+ will use BASE_REF^1. Must be an ancestor of BASE_REF. Only headers
+ that exist on PAST_REF will be checked for compatibility.
+ -j JOBS Number of checks to run in parallel (default: number of CPU cores).
+ -l ERROR_LOG Write error log to file (default: no error log is generated).
+ -P Flag all changes to permissions (even if they're compatible). This
+ option negates the need for a host C compiler.
+ -R Skip flagging parameter removals.
+ -q Quiet operation (suppress stdout, still print stderr).
+
+Environmental args:
+ HOSTCC C compiler for permission conversion to octal (default is "gcc")
+
+Exit codes:
+ $SUCCESS) Success
+ $FAILURE) Module param differences detected
