* checkpatch: add check for sscanf without return useJoe Perches2013-11-131-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch: don't require kernel style __attribute__ shortcuts in uapi pathsJoe Perches2013-11-131-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid prescribing kernel styled shortcuts for gcc extensions of __attribute__((foo)) in the uapi include paths. Fix $realfile filename when using -f/--file to not remove first level directory as if the filename was used in a -P1 patch. Only strip the first level directory (typically a or b) for P1 patches.

* checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" testJoe Perches2013-11-131-14/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch.pl: check for the FSF mailing addressJosh Triplett2013-11-131-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel maintainers reject new instances of the GPL boilerplate paragraph directing people to write to the FSF for a copy of the GPL, since the FSF has moved in the past and may do so again.

* checkpatch: make the memory barrier test noisierJoe Perches2013-11-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* checkpatch: add test for positional misuse of section specifiers like __initdataJoe Perches2013-09-111-1/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 =.

* checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time usedJoe Perches2013-09-111-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch: enforce sane perl versionDave Hansen2013-09-111-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...Joe Perches2013-07-031-7/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* checkpatch: warn when using gcc's binary constant ("0b") extensionJoe Perches2013-07-031-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch: change CamelCase test and make it --strictJoe Perches2013-07-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* checkpatch: only warn for empty lines before closing braces by themselvesMatthijs Kooijman2013-04-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 '}' + +} total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 1 checks, 9 lines checked Signed-off-by: Matthijs Kooijman <matthijs@stdin.nl> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
