Richard Genoud 3645e3283b checkpatch: fix detection of git repository
Since git v1.7.7, the .git directory can be a file when, for example,
the kernel is a submodule of another git super project.  So, the check
"-d .git" is not working anymore in this case.  Using a more generic
check like "-e .git" corrects this behaviour.

Joe Perches b36190c5f8 checkpatch.pl: check for function declarations without arguments
Functions like this one are evil:

void foo()
{
	...
}

Because these functions allow variadic arguments without
checking the arguments at all.

Rob Herring bff5da4335 checkpatch: add DT compatible string documentation checks
This adds a simple check that any compatible strings in DeviceTree dts
files are present in Documentation/devicetree/bindings.  Vendor prefixes
are also checked for existing in vendor-prefixes.txt These should be
temporary checks until we have more sophisticated binding schema
checking.

Alexander Duyck 109d8cb200 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.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

Joe Perches c34c09a845 checkpatch: attempt to find missing switch/case break;
switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.

e.g.:
  commit 4a2c94c9b6 ("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.

"In general, if checkpatch.pl complains about a variable a patch

[] 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 =.

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.

Joe Perches 70dc8a4835 checkpatch: warn when using extern with function prototypes in .h files
Using the extern keyword on function prototypes is superfluous visual
noise so suggest removing it.

Using extern can cause unnecessary line wrapping at 80 columns and
unnecessarily long multi-line function prototypes.

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.

Joe Perches 7e781f67df checkpatch: check CamelCase by word, not by $Lval
$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
bar.Baz when Baz is a variable specified in an include file.

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

Add space after brace
Convert binary constants to hex
Remove whitespace after line continuation
Use inline not __inline or __inline__

Might as well check include timestamps and cache the include file
CamelCase uses for the non-git case too.

The camelcase cache file is now named:

  for git:      .checkpatch-camelcase.git.<commit_id>
  for non-git:  .checkpatch-camelcase.date.<YYYYMMDDhhmm>

All .checkpatch-camelcase* files are deleted if not current.

Joe Perches 351b2a1fe2 checkpatch: cache last camelcase hash as .checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>
Add a file to cache the CamelCase variables found by <commit> to reduce
the time it takes to scan the include/ directory.

Filename is '.checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>' and it is created only only
if a .git directory exists.

<commit> is determined by the last non-merge commit id in the
include/ path.

Reduces checkpatch run time by ~12 cpu seconds on my little netbook.

The current $logFunction regular expression allows names like dev_warn,
e_dbg, netdev_info, etc, but some log functions are now written like
e_dev_warn, so allow 1 or 2 word blocks with an underscore before the
logging level.

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"
