    modpost: add PATTERNS() helper macro · 7452dd26
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    This will be useful to define a NULL-terminated array inside a function
    call.
    
    Currently, string arrays passed to match() are defined in separate
    places:
    
        static const char *const init_sections[] = { ALL_INIT_SECTIONS, NULL };
        static const char *const text_sections[] = { ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS, NULL };
        static const char *const optim_symbols[] = { "*.constprop.*", NULL };
    
                ...
    
                /* Check for pattern 5 */
                if (match(fromsec, text_sections) &&
                    match(tosec, init_sections) &&
                    match(fromsym, optim_symbols))
                        return 0;
    
    With the new helper macro, you can list the patterns directly in the
    function call, like this:
    
                /* Check for pattern 5 */
                if (match(fromsec, PATTERNS(ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS)) &&
                    match(tosec, PATTERNS(ALL_INIT_SECTIONS)) &&
                    match(fromsym, PATTERNS("*.contprop.*")))
                        return 0;
