20 years agoSo I'm building a linux from scratch system, using a working script to do this
Eric Andersen [Wed, 21 Apr 2004 00:56:22 +0000 (00:56 -0000)]
So I'm building a linux from scratch system, using a working script to do this
that the _only_ change to is that gnu sed has been replaced with busybox sed.
And ncurses' install phase hangs.  I trace it down, and it's trying to run
gawk.  (Insert obligatory doubletake, but this is FSF code we're talking
about, so...)

It turns out gawk shells out to sed, ala "sed -f /tmp/blah file.h".  The
/tmp/blah file is basically empty (it contains one character, a newline).  So
basically, gawk is using sed as "cat".  With gnu sed, it works like cat,
anyway.

With busybox sed, it tests if its command list is empty after parsing the
command line, and if the list is empty it takes the first file argument as a
sed command string, and if that leaves the file list empty it tries to read
the data to operate on from stdin.  (Hence the hang, since nothing's coming
in on stdin...)

It _should_ be testing whether there were any instances of -f or -e, not
whether it actually got any commands.  Using sed as cat may be kind of
stupid, but it's valid and gawk relies on this behavior.

Here's a patch to fix it, turning a couple of ints into chars in hopes of
saving a bit of the space this adds.  Comments?

Christian Grigis, christian.grigis at smartdata dot ch writes:

Hello everyone,

Busybox's insmod fails to locate a module when that module is the only one
existing in the /lib/modules directory (with a unique name).

Example:

# find /lib/modules/ -type f
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o
# insmod bios
insmod: bios.o: no module by that name found
# touch /lib/modules/dummy
# find /lib/modules/ -type f
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o
/lib/modules/dummy
# insmod bios
Using /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o

As long as there is another file in the /lib/modules directory, insmod
finds it OK.

I tracked the problem down to 'check_module_name_match()' in insmod.c:

It returns TRUE when a match is found, and FALSE otherwise. In the case
where there is only one module in the /lib/modules directory (or more that
one module, but all with the same name), 'recursive_action()' will return
TRUE and we end up on line 4196 in 'insmod.c' which returns an error.
[The reason it works with more than one module with different
names is that in this case there will always be one not matching,
'recursive_action()' will return FALSE and we end up in line 4189.]

Now, from the implementation of 'recursive_action()' and from other
usages of it (tar.c, etc.), it seems to me that FALSE should be returned
to indicate that we want to stop the recursion, so TRUE and FALSE should
be inverted in 'check_module_name_match()'.

At the same time, 'recursive_action()' continues to recurse even after
the recursive call has returned FALSE; again in my understanding and
other usages of it, we can safely stop recursing at this point.

Here is my patch against 1.00-pre8:
