2018-08-22checkpatch: DT bindings should be a separate patchRob Herring
Devicetree bindings should be their own patch as documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt section I.1. This is because bindings are logically independent from a driver implementation, they have a different maintainer (even though they often are applied via the same tree), and it makes for a cleaner history in the DT only tree created with git-filter-branch.

2018-08-22checkpatch: check for space after "else" keywordMichal Zylowski
Current checkpatch implementation permits notation like } else{ in kernel code. It looks like oversight and inconsistency in checkpatch rules (e.g. instruction like 'do' is tested). Add regex for checking space after 'else' keyword and trigger error if space is not present.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix SPDX license check with --root=<path>Joe Perches
checkpatch uses the in-kernel script spdxcheck.py to validate the specific license in a file or script. This check can currently fail for a couple reasons: o spdxcheck.py assumes the existence of git tree that may not exist for a bare source tree from something like a tarball o the spdxcheck.py must be run from the top level root directory So add a git existence test and set the subprocess subdirectory.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix macro argument reuse testJoe Perches
Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests. This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch. For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message) $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0115d2fe01fdabad54678f2b806da23 Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted> And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name. Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of arguments.

2018-08-22checkpatch: improve runtime execution speed a littleJoe Perches
checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge 5.10.0" runtime string match. Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce string matching time. This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line counts. An example runtime improvement: new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m11.856s user 0m11.831s sys 0m0.025s old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m13.330s user 0m13.282s sys 0m0.049s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db21aa9703833bad65ab70cc4e8a78da5b399138.camel@perches.com 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>

2018-08-22checkpatch: add a --strict test for structs with bool member definitionsJoe Perches
A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized. So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not .c files. There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline functions.

2018-06-27checkpatch: remove warning for 'old' stable@kernel.org addressLinus Torvalds
It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable patches. There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch out to the mailing list early. So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly supported. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-03-26checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'Ulf Magnusson
IMO, we should discourage '---help---' for new help texts, even in cases where it would be consistent with other help texts in the file. This will help if we ever want to get rid of '---help---' in the future. Also simplify the code to only check for exactly '---help---'. Since commit c2264564df3d ("kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig commands"), '---help---' is a proper keyword and can only appear in that form. Prior to that commit, '---help---' working was more of a syntactic quirk. Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2018-03-26checkpatch: kconfig: check help texts for menuconfig and choiceUlf Magnusson
Currently, only Kconfig symbols are checked for a missing or short help text, and are only checked if they are defined with the 'config' keyword. To make the check more general, extend it to also check help texts for choices and for symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword. This increases the accuracy of the check for symbols that would already have been checked as well, since e.g. a 'menuconfig' symbol after a help text will be recognized as ending the preceding symbol/choice definition. To increase the accuracy of the check further, also recognize 'if', 'endif', 'menu', 'endmenu', 'endchoice', and 'source' as ending a symbol/choice definition.

2018-03-26checkpatch: kconfig: recognize more prompts when checking help textsUlf Magnusson
The check for a missing or short help text only considers symbols with a prompt, but doesn't recognize any of the following as a prompt: bool 'foo' tristate 'foo' prompt "foo" prompt 'foo' Make the check recognize those too.

2018-03-16arch: remove blackfin portArnd Bergmann
The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

2018-02-06checkpatch: add a few DEVICE_ATTR style testsJoe Perches
DEVICE_ATTR is a declaration macro that has a few alternate and preferred forms like DEVICE_ATTR_RW, DEVICE_ATTR_RO, and DEVICE_ATTR. As well, many uses of DEVICE_ATTR could use the preferred forms when the show or store functions are also named in a regular form. Suggest the preferred forms when appropriate. Also emit a permissions warning if the the permissions are not the typical 0644, 0444, or 0200.

2018-02-06checkpatch: allow long lines containing URLAndreas Brauchli
Allow lines with URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction in adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice. $ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]' As per RFC3986 [1], the URL format allows for alphanum, +, - and . characters in the scheme before the separator :// as long as it starts with a letter (e.g. https, git, f.-+). Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics. $rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.

2018-02-01Merge branch 'for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...
