fixdep: use malloc() and read() to load dep_file to buffer Commit dee81e988674 ("fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search") changed how to read files in which CONFIG options are searched. It used malloc() and read() instead of mmap() because it needed to zero-terminate the buffer in order to use strstr(). print_deps() was left untouched since there was no reason to change it. Now, I have two motivations to change it in the same way. - do_config_file() and print_deps() do quite similar things; they open a file, load it onto memory, and pass it to a parser function. If we use malloc() and read() for print_deps() too, we can factor out the common code. (I will do this in the next commit.) - parse_dep_file() copies each token to a temporary buffer because it needs to zero-terminate it to be passed to printf(). It is not possible to modify the buffer directly because it is mmap'ed with O_RDONLY. If we load the file content into a malloc'ed buffer, we can insert '\0' after each token, and save memcpy(). (I will do this in the commit after next.) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
