Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tools/bootconfig: Match literal keys in tracing script helpers
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 19:35:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <694f66b67c017072c0246997a09e67a79ebee04f.1793471731.git.edumucelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793471731.git.edumucelli@gmail.com>

The xbc shell helpers interpolate bootconfig keys into regular expressions.
Dots in keys consequently match arbitrary characters: asking for
ftrace.options can also return ftraceXoptions. Branch and subkey lookups
also match unrelated keys that merely share the requested prefix.

Compare complete keys literally and require a dot at descendant boundaries.
Keep the optional subkey pattern operating on the suffix only.

Fixes: 7e66ef0046cc ("tools/bootconfig: Add a script to generate ftrace shell-command from bootconfig")
Signed-off-by: Eduardo Mucelli Rezende Oliveira <edumucelli@gmail.com>
---
The helper checks cover literal dotted keys, missing keys, branch
boundaries and subkey selection. The original helpers passed one of
five checks; the fixed helpers pass all five. These checks also pass
when combined with the other fixes in this series.
