Joe Perches a0ad75964e checkpatch: improve tests for multiple line function definitions
Add a block that identifies multiple line function definitions.

Save the function name into $context_function to improve the embedded
function name test.

Look for misplaced open brace on the function definition.
Emit an OPEN_BRACE error when the function definition is similar to

     void foo(int arg1,
              int arg2) {

Miscellanea:

o Remove the $realfile test in function declaration w/o named arguments test
o Comment the function declaration w/o named arguments test

Heinrich Schuchardt 948b133a1b checkpatch: remove false warning for commit reference
Checkpatch warns of an incorrect commit reference style for any
hexadecimal number of 12 digits and more.

Numbers of 12 digits are not necessarily commit ids.

For an example provoking the problem see
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9170897/

Checkpatch should only warn if the number refers to an existing commit.

Joe Perches ca8198640f checkpatch: fix stepping through statements with $stat and ctx_statement_block
Fix the off-by-one in the suppression of lines in a statement block.

This means that for multiple line statements like

	foo(bar,
	    baz,
	    qux);

$stat has been inspected first correctly for the entire statement,
and subsequently incorrectly just for

	    qux);

This fix will help make tracking appropriate indentation a little easier.

Pantelis Antoniou ce4fecf1fe vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device tree
90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);

'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

Paul E. McKenney 9895313534 checkpatch: Remove checks for expedited grace periods
There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and
synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel
facilities like try_stop_cpus().  However, they have since been
housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less
disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt.  Furthermore, this
disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the
one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other.

This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use
of the expedited RCU primitives.

Kamil Rytarowski cb77f0d623 scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebang
The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.

This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.

This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.

While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).

Joe Perches f6950a735f checkpatch: improve the SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test
The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.

Before this patch, for code like:

	if (foo)
	bar();

checkpatch would not emit a warning.

Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.

Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

Jerome Forissier 75ad8c575a checkpatch: add --typedefsfile
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some
project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings.
Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and
deal with this issue.

This was developed for OP-TEE [1].  We run a Travis job on all pull
requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that.  The typical false warning
we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning
TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs.  We
consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core
implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

Miscellanea:

 - Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL type strings are
   supposed to be uppercase only. Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the
   type check in case I forget this again sometime in the future.

 - Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all 3 current checks
   are done on the format string

Sven Eckelmann 9533047363 checkpatch: remove false unbalanced braces warning
Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces.
But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore
never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character
(like the relevant "}").  This check would also return true for "} else
{" and create warnings like

    CHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement
    #391: FILE: ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c:391:
    +   } else {

The check can be changed to check the whole line for the missing "}" to
avoid this false positive.

Joe Perches 459cf0ae5d checkpatch: improve the octal permissions tests
The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines.
The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches.

Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span
multiple lines.

Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list.

Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO>
permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names.

This can now find and fix permissions uses like:
     .mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>;

Joe Perches f90774e1fd checkpatch: look for symbolic permissions and suggest octal instead
S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible.

Linus didst say:

: It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the
: symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to
: understand.  You really have to think about it.
:
: So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic
: permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers.
:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the
: inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic
: names are just insane crap.  Nobody sane should ever use them.  Not in the
: kernel, not in user space.

Allen Hubbe ed43c4e58a checkpatch: check signoff when reading stdin
Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin.  Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'.  This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.

  git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -

A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch.  The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line.  For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff.  With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.

  git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -

Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'.  The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin.  The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."

  git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"

Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct.  This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."

This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace

Boqun Feng ad315455d3 sparse: Add __private to privatize members of structs
In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a
member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to
privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses.

Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a
member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on
the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone
wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member,
sparse will yell.

Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE()
are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of
private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it
detect an undersigned public use:

| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25:    expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25:    got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident>

Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for
"#else" and "#endif".

Michael S. Tsirkin f4073b0f6e checkpatch: check for __smp outside barrier.h
Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but
it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just
because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from
using it (as happened with other arch stuff before.)

Add a checkpatch test so it will trigger a warning.

Joe Perches 6d32f7a391 checkpatch: improve the unnecessary initialisers tests
Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0.

There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't
mention booleans initialized to false.

Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms
with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros.

o Use a variable to hold the possible 0 test

Joe Perches 369c8dd390 checkpatch: improve tests for fixes:, long lines and stack dumps in commit log
Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some
false positive warning messages.

checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:

o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
  parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
  git commit ID and description.

Fix these.

Miscellanea:

o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets

Joe Perches 47e0c88b37 checkpatch: categorize some long line length checks
Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length.  Some of these
are possibly justified by use type.

For instance:

structure definitions where comments are added per member like:
struct foo {
	type member;		/* some long description */

And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style
where a string constant is used like:

        SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string");

Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line
--ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings.

One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument
documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc
required single line documentation.  The requirement was removed in 2009
so remove that exclusion.

Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer.

Alex Dowad 485ff23ed2 checkpatch: make types found in a source file/patch local
checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover
the names of user-defined types and modifiers.  It then uses that
information when processing expressions to discover potential style
issues.

Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give
different results if you run it on several input files in one execution,
or one by one!

The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a
type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a
different file.

For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this
line (in a macro):

	size value;

and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line:

	while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit)

If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like:
	./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2
the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag
the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator.

To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays
from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in
files at the beginning of each new source file.

Joe Perches e0df7e1fae checkpatch: avoid "spaces required around that ':'" false positive
Since commit 1f65f947a6 ("checkpatch: add checks for question mark and
colon spacing") back in 2008, checkpatch has reported false positive for
asm volatile uses of "::" checkpatch thinks colons should always have
spaces around it.

Add an exception for colons with colons on either side for this valid asm
volatile (and c++) use.

Andy Lutomirski 91c9afaf97 checkpatch.pl: new instances of ENOSYS are errors
ENOSYS means that a nonexistent system call was called.  We have a
bad habit of using it for things like invalid operations on
otherwise valid syscalls.  We should avoid this in new code.

Pervasive incorrect usage of ENOSYS came up at the kernel summit ABI
review discussion.  Let's see if checkpatch can help.

I'll submit a separate patch for include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h.
