commit 6ec363fc6142226b9ab5a6528f65333d729d2b6b upstream.
Starting with release 10.38 PCRE2 drops default support for using \K in
lookaround patterns as described in [1]. Unfortunately, scripts/tags.sh
relies on such functionality to collect all_compiled_soures() leading to
the following error:
$ make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 tags
GEN tags
grep: \K is not allowed in lookarounds (but see PCRE2_EXTRA_ALLOW_LOOKAROUND_BSK)
The usage of \K for this pattern was introduced in commit 4f491bb6ea2a
("scripts/tags.sh: collect compiled source precisely") which speeds up
the generation of tags significantly.
In order to fix this issue without compromising the performance we can
switch over to an equivalent sed expression. The same matching pattern
is preserved here except \K is replaced with a backreference \1.

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.
