Joe Perches c11230f44b checkpatch: fix "Use of uninitialized value" warnings
checkpatch is currently confused about some complex macros and references
undefined variables $stat and $cond.

Make sure these are defined before using them.

Joe Perches 823b794ce1 checkpatch: add check for sscanf without return use
Naked use sscanf can be troublesome because the pointed to variables may
not have been set.

Add a warning when the sscanf return value is not used.

For now, do not add __must_check to the sscanf prototype because that will
cause a couple of hundred new warnings when compiling a kernel.

Fix $realfile filename when using -f/--file to not remove first level

Joe Perches 507e51418c checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" test
Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a
return statement.

This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend
on perl v5.10 and higher.

This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find
like:

ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required

Joe Perches c1fd7bb996 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.

Joe Perches d8b077101b 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.

Joe Perches 8716de383b 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.

[1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/258149
[2] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2013-August/039836.html

So, update checkpatch to find these misuses and report an error when it's
immediately after struct or union, and a warning when it's otherwise not
immediately before the ; or =.

A similar patch was suggested by Andi Kleen

Joe Perches 1b5539b1ff 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.

Dave Hansen d62a201f24 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.

$Lval is a test for complete name (ie: foo->bar.Baz[1])

If any of this is CamelCase, then the current test uses the entire $Lval.
This isn't optimal because it can emit messages with foo->bar.Baz and

So instead, break the $Lval into words and check each word for CamelCase
uses.

Joe Perches 3445686af7 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"

Joe Perches 9d7a34a513 checkpatch: warn on comparisons to get_jiffies_64()
Comparing get_jiffies_64() is almost always wrong and time_before64 and
time_after64 should be used instead.

Warn on any comparison to get_jiffies_64().

Joe Perches a605e32ebd checkpatch: warn when networking block comment lines don't start with *
Some block comments in network are written as:

	/* block comment line 1
	   block comment line 2
	 */

Emit a warning on the "block comment line 2" because it should be

	/* block comment line 1
	 * block comment line 2
	 */

This warning is only emitted on the second line of a block comment.

it but it shouldn't be there.  Must have been my fault.

Joe Perches 95e2c6023b checkpatch: warn when using gcc's binary constant ("0b") extension
The gcc extension for binary constants that start with 0b is only
supported with gcc version 4.3 or higher.

The kernel can still be compiled with earlier versions of gcc, so have
checkpatch emit a warning for these constants.

Restructure checkpatch's constant finding code a bit to support finding
these binary constants.

Joe Perches be79794bc1 checkpatch: change CamelCase test and make it --strict
Do not bleat a message on nominally acceptable CamelCase uses that are
separated by an _ like drm_core_has_MTRR.

CamelCase tests are also a bit noisy against certain types of code
acceptable to some kernel developers.

Make the test applicable only with --strict.

Matthijs Kooijman 74c8f4336d checkpatch: only warn for empty lines before closing braces by themselves
This check was intended to catch extra newlines at the end of a function
definition, but it would trigger on any closing brace, including those
of inline functions and macro definitions, triggering false positives.
Now, only closing braces on a line by themselves trigger this check.

Tested with:

$ cat test.h
/* test.h - Test file */

static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

static inline int bar(void)
{
        return 1;

}

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # Before this commit
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
+
+static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
+
+}

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 2 checks, 9 lines checked

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # After this commit
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
+
