Nícolas F. R. A. Prado 7cb7001ecd dt: dt-extract-compatibles: Don't follow symlinks when walking tree
[ Upstream commit 8f51593cdcab82fb23ef2e1a0010b2e6f99aae02 ]

The iglob function, which we use to find C source files in the kernel
tree, always follows symbolic links. This can cause unintentional
recursions whenever a symbolic link points to a parent directory. A
common scenario is building the kernel with the output set to a
directory inside the kernel tree, which will contain such a symlink.

Instead of using the iglob function, use os.walk to traverse the
directory tree, which by default doesn't follow symbolic links. fnmatch
is then used to match the glob on the filename, as well as ignore hidden
files (which were ignored by default with iglob).

This approach runs just as fast as using iglob.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
