2026-03-28lib/glob: initialize back_str to silence uninitialized variable warningJosh Law1-1/+1
back_str is only used when back_pat is non-NULL, and both are always set together, so it is safe in practice. Initialize back_str to NULL to make this safety invariant explicit and silence compiler/static analysis warnings.

2026-03-28lib/glob: clean up "bool abuse" in pointer arithmeticJosh Law1-1/+1
Replace the implicit 'bool' to 'int' conversion with an explicit ternary operator. This makes the pointer arithmetic clearer and avoids relying on boolean memory representation for logic flow.

2026-03-28lib: glob: replace bitwise OR with logical operation on booleanJosh Law1-1/+2
Using bitwise OR (|=) on a boolean variable is valid C, but replacing it with a direct logical assignment makes the intent clearer and appeases strict static analysis tools.

2024-09-10lib: glob.c: added null check for character classAlok Swaminathan1-0/+2
Add null check for character class. Previously, an inverted character class could result in a nul byte being matched and lead to the function reading past the end of the inputted string.

I am not sure what the solution is, the PowerPC wrapper does not set -D__KERNEL__ so I am not sure that compiler_attributes.h can be safely included." In order to avoid these sort of problems, it seems that the best solution is to use /* fall through */ comments instead of the fallthrough pseudo-keyword macro in lib/, for now.

2014-08-07lib/glob.c: add CONFIG_GLOB_SELFTESTGeorge Spelvin1-0/+164
This was useful during development, and is retained for future regression testing. GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after module load. Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named arrays. Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read. At least the tests are more compact.

This is a helper function from drivers/ata/libata_core.c, where it is used to blacklist particular device models. It's being moved to lib/ so other drivers may use it for the same purpose. This implementation in non-recursive, so is safe for the kernel stack.
