ver_linux: Remove checks for reiserfsprogs.

2025-06-09T20:53:16+00:00

The reiserfsprogs package is no longer needed since ReiserFS was removed in Linux 6.13. Signed-off-by: Collin Funk Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/4d9808b5e3a87eab41d5d0417d453800faad98b1.1749352106.git.collin.funk1@gmail.com

ver_linux: Eliminate duplicate code in ldconfig processing logic

2021-01-27T13:54:42+00:00

The code that acquires the version strings for libc and libcpp is identical, as is the printversion call. The only difference being the name of the library being printed. Refactor the code by unifying the bits that are common to both libraries.

ver_linux: Query ld cache for versions of libc/libcpp run-time

2020-02-10T21:35:15+00:00

Query ld cache for versions of both libc and libcpp run-time, instead of querying /proc/self/maps for libc run-time, and ld cache for libcpp run-time, thus reducing code size and complexity.

ver_linux: Assign constant RE to variable name for clarity

2019-01-22T12:34:35+00:00

The regular expression that matches the version number of a utility being queried is used as a constant expression in the current implementation. Assigning the RE in question to a variable gives it a meaningful name that clearly expresses the intended use of the expression without having to think about the details of implementation.

ver_linux: Do not check for ver_linux pattern in version function

2018-07-07T15:44:52+00:00

Checking whether output of commands matches the ver_linux pattern in the version function is original shell implementation legacy code. When the original implementation failed to locate a particular utility, it generated error output along the lines of: ver_linux:line number: command not found. The awk implementation, does not contain the name of the script within the body of the error message returned by the subshell when a given utility fails to be located. The error message returned is along the lines of: sh: name of utility: command not found Safeguarding against the ver_linux pattern being found in the output being parsed may thus be safely omitted.

ver_linux: Process input coming from procmaps that matches libc only

2018-07-07T15:44:52+00:00

Currently, input coming from /proc/self/maps is split into fields without checking whether or not it matches libc.so. This is not efficient. All text processing should only be performed on lines of input that match libc.so. Signed-off-by: Alexander Kapshuk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ver_linux: Drop redundant calls to system() to test if file is readable

2018-05-14T14:36:39+00:00

Running 'test -r' on an awk variable name whose value is an empty string results in test being run with no arguments, and causes system() to return 0, which indicates success when used to test values returned by function calls. This results in code within the if blocks being run when it should not be. Instead of testing if a file is accessible and readable via calls to system("test -r " file), rely on the value returned by getline to perform this kind of testing. Getline returns -1 on error, with the code within the while loops not being run. Signed-off-by: Alexander Kapshuk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ver_linux: Move stderr redirection from function parameter to function body

2018-05-14T14:36:39+00:00

Remove stderr redirection to stdout from all the parameters to the version() function, and put it with the body of the version() function instead. This improves code readability. Signed-off-by: Alexander Kapshuk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
