Joe Perches 5d43090261 checkpatch: whinge about bool bitfields
Using bool in a bitfield isn't a good idea as the alignment behavior is
arch implementation defined.

Suggest using unsigned int or u<8|16|32> instead.

Allow a space between a colon and subsequent opening bracket.  This
sequence may occur in inline assembler statements like

	asm(

Joe Perches 6a487211ec checkpatch: add test for assignment at start of line
Kernel style seems to prefer line wrapping an assignment with the
assignment operator on the previous line like:

	<leading tabs>	identifier =
				expression;
over
	<leading tabs>	identifier
				= expression;

somewhere around a 50:1 ratio

$ git grep -P "[^=]=\s*$" -- "*.[ch]" | wc -l
52008
$ git grep -P "^\s+[\*\/\+\|\%\-]?=[^=>]" | wc -l
1161

So add a --strict test for that condition.

Joe Perches bc22d9a7d3 checkpatch: test SYMBOLIC_PERMS multiple times per line
There are occasions where symbolic perms are used in a ternary like

		return (channel == 0) ? S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR : S_IRUGO;

The current test will find the first use "S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR" but not the
second use "S_IRUGO" on the same line.

Improve the test to look for all instances on a line.

Joe Perches 478b179980 checkpatch: improve get_quoted_string for TRACE_EVENT macros
The get_quoted_string function does not expect invalid arguments.

The $stat test can return non-statements for complicated macros like
TRACE_EVENT.

Allow the $stat block and test for vsprintf misuses to exceed the actual
block length and possibly test invalid lines by validating the arguments
of get_quoted_string.

Return "" if either get_quoted_string argument is undefined.

o Properly align the comment for the vsprintf extension test

Ulf Magnusson 84af7a6194 checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'
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 c2264564df ("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.

Ulf Magnusson 678ae162dd checkpatch: kconfig: check help texts for menuconfig and choice
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.

Arnd Bergmann 4ba66a9760 arch: remove blackfin port
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.

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.

Linus Torvalds ab486bc9a5 Merge branch 'for-linus' of 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.

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

- Updates to use cond_resched() instead of cond_resched_rcu_qs()
  where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and
  in kernel/torture.c).  Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending
  IPIs to offline CPUs.

- Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.

- Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends()
  and read_barrier_depends().

- Miscellaneous fixes.

- Torture-test updates.

Tobin C. Harding 7b1924a1d9 vsprintf: add printk specifier %px
printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes
we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using
%lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the
way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through
the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a
clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of
isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel.

Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address.

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING

Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are
passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too.

So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.
