    kconfig: recursive checks drop file/lineno · 9d0d2660

    This prevents segfault when getting filename and lineno in recursive
    checks.
    
    If the following snippet is found in Kconfig:
    
    [Test code 1]
    
    config FOO
            bool
            depends on BAR
            select BAR
    
    ... without BAR defined; then there is a segfault.
    
      Kconfig:34:error: recursive dependency detected!
      Kconfig:34:	symbol FOO depends on BAR
      make[4]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:85: allnoconfig] Segmentation fault
    
    This is because of the following. BAR is a fake entry created by
    sym_lookup() with prop being NULL. In the recursive check, there is a
    NULL check for prop to fall back to stack->sym->prop if stack->prop is
    NULL. However, in this case, stack->sym points to the fake BAR entry
    created by sym_lookup(), so prop is still NULL. prop was then referenced
    without additional NULL checks, causing segfault.
    
    As the previous email thread suggests, the file and lineno for select is
    also wrong:
    
    [Test code 2]
    
    config FOO
           bool
    
    config BAR
           bool
    
    config FOO
           bool "FOO"
           depends on BAR
           select BAR
    
      $ make defconfig
      *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
      Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
      Kconfig:1: symbol FOO depends on BAR
      Kconfig:4: symbol BAR is selected by FOO
      [...]
    
    Kconfig:4 should be Kconfig:10.
    
    This patch deletes the wrong and segfault-prone filename/lineno
    inference completely. With this patch, Test code 1 yields:
    
    error: recursive dependency detected!
    	symbol FOO depends on BAR
    	symbol BAR is selected by FOO
