    scripts/headers_check.pl: correct RE in header CONFIG leak check · 1581c1ce
    Robert P. J. Day authored
    Correct the regular expression in scripts/headers_check.pl to include '_'
    as a valid character in the class; otherwise, the check will report a
    "leaked" symbol of CONFIG_A_B_C as merely CONFIG_A.
    
    This patch will make no difference whatsoever in the current kernel tree
    as the call to the perl routine that does that check is currently
    commented out:
    
                    &check_include();
                    &check_asm_types();
                    &check_sizetypes();
                    &check_prototypes();
                    # Dropped for now. Too much noise &check_config();
    
    However, I noticed that problem when I was building the yum downloadable
    kernel source rpm for fedora 11 (beta), which *does* run that check, and
    that's where the problem became obvious.
