add a trivial patch style checker We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

checkpatch: look for common misspellings Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list. Several false positives were removed, and several additional words added that were common in the kernel: backword backwords invalide valide recieves singed unsinged While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/... When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep. This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there is a CamelCase use found. If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: enforce sane perl version I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was broken for them. It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly with messages like: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/($(?:[^\($]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340. The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at _best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be completely broken. If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error messages. This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch will let folks override this if they want.

checkpatch: look for common misspellings Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list. Several false positives were removed, and several additional words added that were common in the kernel: backword backwords invalide valide recieves singed unsinged While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree. In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed 560 spelling mistakes.

checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptions This script is used by many other projects, and in some of them the requirement of at least 4 line long description for all Kconfig items is excessive. This patch adds a command line option to control the required minimum length. Tested running this script over a patch including a two line config description. The script generated a warning when invoked as is, and did not generate it when invoked with --min-conf-desc-length=2.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.11 This version brings a more cautious checkpatch.pl by default. The more subjective checks are only applied with the --strict option. It also brings the usual slew of corrections for false positives. Of note: - new tree detection, the source tree will be found via the executable - a major revamp of the unary detection to make it more parser like - a new summary at the bottom of the report - --strict option for subjective checks - --file to enable checking on complete files - support for use in emacs "compile" window Andy Whitcroft (27): Version: 0.11 fix up cat_vet for the case where there are no control characters any cast to a pointer introduces a type cpp unary operator detection needs to float attributes are also valid in type definitions sizeof may be a bareword and makes its argument unary unary checks for #ifdef et al need to find end of line add new --file mode to handle raw source files add --strict/--subjective which enables the subjective tests add some additional standard type suffixes cpp #elif is also a unary prefix case is not a function name widen asm volatile exceptions __kprobes is a type attribute typeof is a unary operator function open parenthesis checks should check all occurances expand sizeof() binary exceptions linux/irq.h should not be recommended work harder to find the kernel root and add --root= fix --emacs mode line numbers and string concatenation warnings add a summary to the bottom of the main report loosen assignment in if checks update operator spacing to maintain tabs in output revamp unary detection corruption/line wrapped patches need only reporting once revamp s/u/be/le 8/16/32/64 bit types handle missing ,1 in uni-diff header Mike D.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12 This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the air and guessing. Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.14 This version brings the remainder of the queued fixes. A number of fixes for items missed reported by Andrew Morton and others. Also a handful of new checks and fixes for false positives. Of note: - new warning associated with --file to try and avoid cleanup only patches, - corrected handling of completly empty files, - corrected report handling with multiple files, - handling of possible types in the face of multiple declarations, - detection of unnessary braces on complex if statements (where present), and - all new comment spacing handling.

checkpatch: enforce sane perl version I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was broken for them. It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly with messages like: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/($(?:[^\($]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340. The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at _best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be completely broken. If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error messages. This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch will let folks override this if they want.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12 This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the air and guessing. Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: fix false errors due to macro concatenation The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator. For example this line, + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \ is correct but it produces the following error, ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB) + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\ ^ The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives. Of note: - return is not a function and is now reported, - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard, - we now intuit new type modifiers, and - comment handling is much improved Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.19 fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm values: #include is a preprocessor statement quotes: fix single character quotes at line end add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types" kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length types: word boundary is not always required improved #define bracketing reports uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name possible types: add possible modifier handling possible types: fastcall is a type modifier types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2 comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking return is not a function do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h return is not a function -- tighten test [jengelh@computergmbh.de: fix recognition of preprocessor directives] Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: add test for positional misuse of section specifiers like __initdata As discussed recently on the arm [1] and lm-sensors [2] lists, it is possible to use section markers on variables in a way which gcc doesn't understand (or at least not the way the developer intended): static struct __initdata samsung_pll_clock exynos4_plls[nr_plls] = { does NOT put exynos4_plls in the .initdata section. The __initdata marker can be virtually anywhere on the line, EXCEPT right after "struct". The preferred location is before the "=" sign if there is one, or before the trailing ";" otherwise.

Fix it by adding uninitialized_var to the $declaration_macros exceptions list. Move the macro list after $Type is declared. Add optional prefixes to DECLARE_<FOO> and DEFINE_<BAR> macro declarations to allow forms like: MLX4_DECLARE_DOORBELL_LOCK Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reported-by: Dotan Barak <dotanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: suggest using min_t or max_t A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better. Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of min_t or max_t instead. Caveat: This only works for min() or max() on a single line. It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines. This does find: min((u32)foo, bar); But it does not find: max((unsigned long)foo, bar); Suggested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: make "return is not a function" test quieter This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not warn in a lot more situations. It seems people agree that: return (foo || bar); and return foo || bar; are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them. For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single function or a ternary. return (foo); return (foo(bar)); return (foo ? bar : baz); The last ternary test may be quieted in the future. Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and trailing parentheses.

checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/... When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep. This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there is a CamelCase use found.

checkpatch: correctly track the end of preprocessor commands in context When looking for a statement we currently run on through preprocessor commands. This means that a header file with just definitions is parsed over and over again combining all of the lines from the current line to the end of file leading to severe performance issues. Fix up context accumulation to track preprocessor commands and stop when reaching the end of them. At the same time vastly simplify the #define handling.

Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: fix extraneous EXPORT_SYMBOL* warnings These are caused by checkpatch incorrectly parsing its internal representation of a statement block for struct's (or anything else that is a statement block encapsulated in {}'s that also ends with a ';'). Fix this by properly parsing a statement block. An example: +struct dummy_type dummy = { + .foo = "baz", +}; +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy); + +static int dummy_func(void) +{ + return -EDUMMYCODE; +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy_func); WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately \ follow its function/variable #19: FILE: dummy.c:4: +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy); The above warning is issued when it should not be.

checkpatch: correctly track the end of preprocessor commands in context When looking for a statement we currently run on through preprocessor commands. This means that a header file with just definitions is parsed over and over again combining all of the lines from the current line to the end of file leading to severe performance issues. Fix up context accumulation to track preprocessor commands and stop when reaching the end of them. At the same time vastly simplify the #define handling.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12 This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the air and guessing. Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

add a trivial patch style checker We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.11 This version brings a more cautious checkpatch.pl by default. The more subjective checks are only applied with the --strict option. It also brings the usual slew of corrections for false positives. Of note: - new tree detection, the source tree will be found via the executable - a major revamp of the unary detection to make it more parser like - a new summary at the bottom of the report - --strict option for subjective checks - --file to enable checking on complete files - support for use in emacs "compile" window Andy Whitcroft (27): Version: 0.11 fix up cat_vet for the case where there are no control characters any cast to a pointer introduces a type cpp unary operator detection needs to float attributes are also valid in type definitions sizeof may be a bareword and makes its argument unary unary checks for #ifdef et al need to find end of line add new --file mode to handle raw source files add --strict/--subjective which enables the subjective tests add some additional standard type suffixes cpp #elif is also a unary prefix case is not a function name widen asm volatile exceptions __kprobes is a type attribute typeof is a unary operator function open parenthesis checks should check all occurances expand sizeof() binary exceptions linux/irq.h should not be recommended work harder to find the kernel root and add --root= fix --emacs mode line numbers and string concatenation warnings add a summary to the bottom of the main report loosen assignment in if checks update operator spacing to maintain tabs in output revamp unary detection corruption/line wrapped patches need only reporting once revamp s/u/be/le 8/16/32/64 bit types handle missing ,1 in uni-diff header Mike D.

checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patches Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning. Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's start with a version which catches the cases of real use.

checkpatch: extend CamelCase types and ignore existing CamelCase uses in a patch Extend the CamelCase words found to include structure members. In https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/3/318 Sarah Sharp (mostly) wrote: "In general, if checkpatch.pl complains about a variable a patch introduces that's CamelCase, you should pay attention to it. Otherwise, [] ignore it." So, if checking a patch, scan the original patched file if it's available and add any preexisting CamelCase types so reuses do not generate CamelCase messages. That also means Andrew's not so cruelly spurned anymore. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/22/426 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Suggested-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c.

checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time used There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete. Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only comments. This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines. One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could be done multiple times unnecessarily. A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take 1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.

checkpatch.pl: add check for Change-Id A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions. These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel. (Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on. Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by. 1. https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg Signed-off-by: Christopher Covington <cov@codeaurora.org> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12 This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the air and guessing. Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.

Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

add a trivial patch style checker We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

checkpatch: only flag FSF address, not gnu.org URL This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in numerous drivers. The idea is to still allow some reference to an external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the kernel tree without the COPYING file. So for example this statement will still return an error: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. However, this statement will not return an error after this patch: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program.

checkpatch: fix wildcard DT compatible string checking We attempt to search for compatible strings which use a variable token in the documented name such as <chip> or <soc>. While this was attempted to be handled, it's utterly broken. The desired forms of matching are: vendor,<chip>-* vendor,name<part#>-* For <chip>, lower case characters and numbers are permitted. For <part#>, only numeric values are allowed. With this change, the number of missing compatible strings reported in arch/arm/boot/dts is reduced from 1071 to 960.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.13 This version brings a large number of fixes which have built up over the Christmas period. Mostly these are fixes for false positives, both through improvments to unary checks and possible type detection. It also brings new checks for while location and CVS keywords. Of note: - a number of fixes to unary detection - detection of a number of new forms of types to improve type matching - better inline handling - recognision of '%' as an operator Andy Whitcroft (28): Version: 0.13 unary detection: maintain bracket state across lines move to pre-sanitising the entire file the text of a #error statement should be treated like it is in quotes line sanitisation needs to target double backslash correctly tighten comment guestimation for lines starting ' * ' debug: add a debug framework prevent unclosed single quotes from spreading add % as an operator the text of a #warning statement should be treated like it is in quotes possible matching applies in typedefs single statement block checks must not trigger when two or more statements possible types: local variables may also be const treat inline as a type attribute to even when out of place possible types: sparse annotations are valid indicators possible types: beef up the possible type testing check for hanging while statements on the wrong line utf8 checks need to occur against the raw lines function brace checks should use any whitespece matches comments should take up space in the line when sanitised remove debugging from if assignment checks possible types -- ensure we detect all pointer casts fix tests for function spacing in the presence of #define clean up the UTF-8 error message to be clearer test-lib: invert the status report, output success counts detect and report CVS keywords tests: break out tests Add $Id$ to the CVS keyword checks Benny Halevy (1): checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive Geert Uytterhoeven (1): print the filenames of patches where available Mauro Carvalho Chehab (1): Fix missing \n in checkpatch.pl Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: add exception to return then else test Add an exception to the return before else warning when the line following it is also a return like: if (foo) return bar; else return baz; This form of a test then return is at least as readable as if (foo) return bar; return baz; so don't emit a warning on the first form.

checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time used There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete. Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only comments. This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines. One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could be done multiple times unnecessarily. A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take 1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.

Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper.

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments. Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment. Update "false positive" output for readability.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: add checks for question mark and colon spacing Add checks for the question mark colon operator spacing, and also check the other uses of colon. Colon means a number of things: - it introduces the else part of the ?: operator, - it terminates a goto label, - it terminates the case value, - it separates the identifier from the bit size on bit fields, and - it is used to introduce option types in asm().

checkpatch: fix __attribute__ matching In the following code, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.

Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.

checkpatch: add test for native c90 types in unusual order c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says: "type specifiers may occur in any order" That means that: short int is the same as int short unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short etc... checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types. For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int signed short" variants are found. Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants. Add this misordered table to the findable types. Warn when the misordered style is used. This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for "$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives. Of note: - return is not a function and is now reported, - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard, - we now intuit new type modifiers, and - comment handling is much improved Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.19 fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm values: #include is a preprocessor statement quotes: fix single character quotes at line end add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types" kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length types: word boundary is not always required improved #define bracketing reports uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name possible types: add possible modifier handling possible types: fastcall is a type modifier types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2 comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking return is not a function do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h return is not a function -- tighten test [jengelh@computergmbh.de: fix recognition of preprocessor directives] Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments. Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment. Update "false positive" output for readability.

Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives. Of note: - return is not a function and is now reported, - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard, - we now intuit new type modifiers, and - comment handling is much improved Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.19 fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm values: #include is a preprocessor statement quotes: fix single character quotes at line end add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types" kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length types: word boundary is not always required improved #define bracketing reports uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name possible types: add possible modifier handling possible types: fastcall is a type modifier types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2 comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking return is not a function do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h return is not a function -- tighten test [jengelh@computergmbh.de: fix recognition of preprocessor directives] Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.13 This version brings a large number of fixes which have built up over the Christmas period. Mostly these are fixes for false positives, both through improvments to unary checks and possible type detection. It also brings new checks for while location and CVS keywords. Of note: - a number of fixes to unary detection - detection of a number of new forms of types to improve type matching - better inline handling - recognision of '%' as an operator Andy Whitcroft (28): Version: 0.13 unary detection: maintain bracket state across lines move to pre-sanitising the entire file the text of a #error statement should be treated like it is in quotes line sanitisation needs to target double backslash correctly tighten comment guestimation for lines starting ' * ' debug: add a debug framework prevent unclosed single quotes from spreading add % as an operator the text of a #warning statement should be treated like it is in quotes possible matching applies in typedefs single statement block checks must not trigger when two or more statements possible types: local variables may also be const treat inline as a type attribute to even when out of place possible types: sparse annotations are valid indicators possible types: beef up the possible type testing check for hanging while statements on the wrong line utf8 checks need to occur against the raw lines function brace checks should use any whitespece matches comments should take up space in the line when sanitised remove debugging from if assignment checks possible types -- ensure we detect all pointer casts fix tests for function spacing in the presence of #define clean up the UTF-8 error message to be clearer test-lib: invert the status report, output success counts detect and report CVS keywords tests: break out tests Add $Id$ to the CVS keyword checks Benny Halevy (1): checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive Geert Uytterhoeven (1): print the filenames of patches where available Mauro Carvalho Chehab (1): Fix missing \n in checkpatch.pl Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: create an EXPERIMENTAL --fix option to correct patches Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so. Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

Of note: - new tree detection, the source tree will be found via the executable - a major revamp of the unary detection to make it more parser like - a new summary at the bottom of the report - --strict option for subjective checks - --file to enable checking on complete files - support for use in emacs "compile" window Andy Whitcroft (27): Version: 0.11 fix up cat_vet for the case where there are no control characters any cast to a pointer introduces a type cpp unary operator detection needs to float attributes are also valid in type definitions sizeof may be a bareword and makes its argument unary unary checks for #ifdef et al need to find end of line add new --file mode to handle raw source files add --strict/--subjective which enables the subjective tests add some additional standard type suffixes cpp #elif is also a unary prefix case is not a function name widen asm volatile exceptions __kprobes is a type attribute typeof is a unary operator function open parenthesis checks should check all occurances expand sizeof() binary exceptions linux/irq.h should not be recommended work harder to find the kernel root and add --root= fix --emacs mode line numbers and string concatenation warnings add a summary to the bottom of the main report loosen assignment in if checks update operator spacing to maintain tabs in output revamp unary detection corruption/line wrapped patches need only reporting once revamp s/u/be/le 8/16/32/64 bit types handle missing ,1 in uni-diff header Mike D.

checkpatch: add checks for question mark and colon spacing Add checks for the question mark colon operator spacing, and also check the other uses of colon. Colon means a number of things: - it introduces the else part of the ?: operator, - it terminates a goto label, - it terminates the case value, - it separates the identifier from the bit size on bit fields, and - it is used to introduce option types in asm().

Of note: - better categorisation and space checks for dual use unary/binary operators - warn on deprecated use of {SPIN,RW}_LOCK_UNLOCKED - check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements - detect DOS line endings - detect redundant casts for kalloc() Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.10 asmlinkage is also a storage type pull out inline specifiers allow only some operators before a unary operator parenthesised values may span line ends add additional attribute matching handle sparse annotations within pointer type space checks support alternative function definition syntax for typedefs check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements fix output format for case checks deprecate SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED allow complex macros with bracketing braces detect and report DOS line endings fastcall is a valid function attribute bracket spacing is ok for 'for' categorise operators into unary/binary/definitions add heuristic to pick up on unannotated types remove spurious warnings from cat_vet Dave Jones (1): Make checkpatch warn about pointless casting of kalloc returns.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.13 This version brings a large number of fixes which have built up over the Christmas period. Mostly these are fixes for false positives, both through improvments to unary checks and possible type detection. It also brings new checks for while location and CVS keywords. Of note: - a number of fixes to unary detection - detection of a number of new forms of types to improve type matching - better inline handling - recognision of '%' as an operator Andy Whitcroft (28): Version: 0.13 unary detection: maintain bracket state across lines move to pre-sanitising the entire file the text of a #error statement should be treated like it is in quotes line sanitisation needs to target double backslash correctly tighten comment guestimation for lines starting ' * ' debug: add a debug framework prevent unclosed single quotes from spreading add % as an operator the text of a #warning statement should be treated like it is in quotes possible matching applies in typedefs single statement block checks must not trigger when two or more statements possible types: local variables may also be const treat inline as a type attribute to even when out of place possible types: sparse annotations are valid indicators possible types: beef up the possible type testing check for hanging while statements on the wrong line utf8 checks need to occur against the raw lines function brace checks should use any whitespece matches comments should take up space in the line when sanitised remove debugging from if assignment checks possible types -- ensure we detect all pointer casts fix tests for function spacing in the presence of #define clean up the UTF-8 error message to be clearer test-lib: invert the status report, output success counts detect and report CVS keywords tests: break out tests Add $Id$ to the CVS keyword checks Benny Halevy (1): checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive Geert Uytterhoeven (1): print the filenames of patches where available Mauro Carvalho Chehab (1): Fix missing \n in checkpatch.pl Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.14 This version brings the remainder of the queued fixes. A number of fixes for items missed reported by Andrew Morton and others. Also a handful of new checks and fixes for false positives. Of note: - new warning associated with --file to try and avoid cleanup only patches, - corrected handling of completly empty files, - corrected report handling with multiple files, - handling of possible types in the face of multiple declarations, - detection of unnessary braces on complex if statements (where present), and - all new comment spacing handling.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives. Of note: - return is not a function and is now reported, - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard, - we now intuit new type modifiers, and - comment handling is much improved Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.19 fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm values: #include is a preprocessor statement quotes: fix single character quotes at line end add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types" kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length types: word boundary is not always required improved #define bracketing reports uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name possible types: add possible modifier handling possible types: fastcall is a type modifier types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2 comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking return is not a function do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h return is not a function -- tighten test [jengelh@computergmbh.de: fix recognition of preprocessor directives] Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Of note: - new --terse mode producing a single line per report - loosening of the block brace checks - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements - hugely expanded "bare type" detection - checks for inline usage - better handling of already open comment blocks - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.12 style fixes as spotted by checkpatch add a --terse options of a single line of output per report block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks all new bare type detector check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al expand possible type matching to declarations allow const and sparse annotations on possible types handle possible types as regular types everywhere prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline all new open comment detection fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks add const to the possible type matcher unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too possible types: detect function pointer definitions handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/... When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep.

It should be also true for struct defined in a macro. Add the `struct' and `union' keywords to the exceptions list of the checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not possible to build a struct or union with a macro.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives. Of note: - return is not a function and is now reported, - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard, - we now intuit new type modifiers, and - comment handling is much improved Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.19 fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm values: #include is a preprocessor statement quotes: fix single character quotes at line end add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types" kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length types: word boundary is not always required improved #define bracketing reports uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name possible types: add possible modifier handling possible types: fastcall is a type modifier types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2 comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking return is not a function do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h return is not a function -- tighten test [jengelh@computergmbh.de: fix recognition of preprocessor directives] Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.15 This version brings a number of minor fixes updating the type detector and the unary tracker. It also brings a few small fixes for false positives. It also reverts the --file warning.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.14 This version brings the remainder of the queued fixes. A number of fixes for items missed reported by Andrew Morton and others. Also a handful of new checks and fixes for false positives. Of note: - new warning associated with --file to try and avoid cleanup only patches, - corrected handling of completly empty files, - corrected report handling with multiple files, - handling of possible types in the face of multiple declarations, - detection of unnessary braces on complex if statements (where present), and - all new comment spacing handling. Andi Kleen (1): Introduce a warning when --file mode is used Andy Whitcroft (14): Version: 0.14 clean up some space violations in checkpatch.pl a completly empty file should not provoke a whinge reset report lines buffers between files unary ++/-- may abutt close braces __typeof__ is also unary comments: revamp comment handling add --summary-file option adding filename to summary line trailing backslashes are not trailing statements handle operators passed as parameters such as to ASSERTCMP possible types -- enhance debugging check for boolean operations with constants possible types: handle multiple declarations detect and report if statements where all branches are single statements Arjan van de Ven (1): quiet option should not print the summary on no errors Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (1): warn about using __FUNCTION__ Timur Tabi (1): loosen spacing checks for __asm__ Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments. Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment. Update "false positive" output for readability.

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.

checkpatch: attempt to find unnecessary 'out of memory' messages Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump done by the memory subsystem. These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value. Emit a warning on these types of messages. This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo = kmalloc()" ie: this code matches: foo = kmalloc(); if (foo == NULL) { printk("Out of memory\n"); return -ENOMEM; } This test is very crude and incomplete. This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this specific form. ie: this code does not match: foo = kmalloc(); if (!foo) { rtn = -ENOMEM; printk("Out of memory!\n"); goto out; } This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false positives in my limited testing. spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for that tool too.

It's : just not broken enough that someone did something against it ... so : the current kludge is good enough. Until then, warn on long udelay uses.

checkpatch: make the memory barrier test noisier Peter Zijlstra prefers that comments be required near uses of memory barriers. Change the message level for memory barrier uses from a --strict test only to a normal WARN so it's always emitted. This might produce false positives around insertions of memory barriers when a comment is outside the patch context block. And checkpatch is still stupid, it only looks for existence of any comment, not at the comment content.

add a trivial patch style checker We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.05 This version brings a some new tests, and a host of changes to fix false positives, of particular note: - detect 'var ++;' and 'var --;' as a bad combination - multistatement #defines are now checked based on statement count - multistatement #defines with initialisation correctly reported - checks the location of the inline keywords - EXPORT_SYMBOL for variables are now understood - typedefs are loosened to handle sparse etc This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL: http://www.shadowen.org/~apw/public/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.05 Full Changelog: Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.05 macro definition checks should be for a single statement avoid assignements only in if conditionals declarations of function pointers need no space multiline macros which are purely initialisation cannot be wrapped EXPORT_SYMBOL can also directly follow a variable definition check on the location of the inline keyword EXPORT_SYMBOL needs to allow for attributes ensure we do not find C99 // in strings handle malformed #include lines accept the {0,} form typedefs are sensible for defining function pointer parameters ensure { handling correctly handles nested switch() statements trailing whitespace checks are not anchored typedefs for sparse bitwise annotations make sense update the type matcher to include sparse annotations clean up indent and spacing Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.

checkpatch: attempt to find missing switch/case break; switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately common error. e.g.: commit 4a2c94c9b6c0 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard") case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue. If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is intentional. Ideally that comment should be something like: "/* fall-through */" Add a test to look for missing break statements. This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context. Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence. The normal kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16 This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19 This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks, improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

checkpatch: create an EXPERIMENTAL --fix option to correct patches Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so. Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

add a trivial patch style checker We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.13 This version brings a large number of fixes which have built up over the Christmas period. Mostly these are fixes for false positives, both through improvments to unary checks and possible type detection. It also brings new checks for while location and CVS keywords. Of note: - a number of fixes to unary detection - detection of a number of new forms of types to improve type matching - better inline handling - recognision of '%' as an operator Andy Whitcroft (28): Version: 0.13 unary detection: maintain bracket state across lines move to pre-sanitising the entire file the text of a #error statement should be treated like it is in quotes line sanitisation needs to target double backslash correctly tighten comment guestimation for lines starting ' * ' debug: add a debug framework prevent unclosed single quotes from spreading add % as an operator the text of a #warning statement should be treated like it is in quotes possible matching applies in typedefs single statement block checks must not trigger when two or more statements possible types: local variables may also be const treat inline as a type attribute to even when out of place possible types: sparse annotations are valid indicators possible types: beef up the possible type testing check for hanging while statements on the wrong line utf8 checks need to occur against the raw lines function brace checks should use any whitespece matches comments should take up space in the line when sanitised remove debugging from if assignment checks possible types -- ensure we detect all pointer casts fix tests for function spacing in the presence of #define clean up the UTF-8 error message to be clearer test-lib: invert the status report, output success counts detect and report CVS keywords tests: break out tests Add $Id$ to the CVS keyword checks Benny Halevy (1): checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive Geert Uytterhoeven (1): print the filenames of patches where available Mauro Carvalho Chehab (1): Fix missing \n in checkpatch.pl Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts. Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types. Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments. Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment. Update "false positive" output for readability.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.14 This version brings the remainder of the queued fixes. A number of fixes for items missed reported by Andrew Morton and others. Also a handful of new checks and fixes for false positives. Of note: - new warning associated with --file to try and avoid cleanup only patches, - corrected handling of completly empty files, - corrected report handling with multiple files, - handling of possible types in the face of multiple declarations, - detection of unnessary braces on complex if statements (where present), and - all new comment spacing handling. Andi Kleen (1): Introduce a warning when --file mode is used Andy Whitcroft (14): Version: 0.14 clean up some space violations in checkpatch.pl a completly empty file should not provoke a whinge reset report lines buffers between files unary ++/-- may abutt close braces __typeof__ is also unary comments: revamp comment handling add --summary-file option adding filename to summary line trailing backslashes are not trailing statements handle operators passed as parameters such as to ASSERTCMP possible types -- enhance debugging check for boolean operations with constants possible types: handle multiple declarations detect and report if statements where all branches are single statements Arjan van de Ven (1): quiet option should not print the summary on no errors Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (1): warn about using __FUNCTION__ Timur Tabi (1): loosen spacing checks for __asm__ Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
