* checkpatch: update suggested printk conversionsJoe Perches2012-10-061-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Direct conversion of printk(KERN_<LEVEL>... to pr_<level> isn't the preferred conversion when a struct net_device or struct device is available. Hint that using netdev_<level> or dev_<level> is preferred to using pr_<level>. Add netdev_dbg and dev_dbg variants too. Miscellaneous whitespace neatening of a misplaced close brace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b13edf7ff2dd ("checkpatch: add checks for do {} while (0) macro misuses") added a test that is overly simplistic for single statement macros.

* checkpatch: check for quoted strings broken across linesJosh Triplett2012-03-231-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted strings split across lines. Test case: void context(void) { struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = { { 42, "these strings" "do not produce warnings" }, { 256, "though perhaps" "they should" }, }; pr_err("this string" " should produce a warning\n"); pr_err("this multi-line string\n" "should not produce a warning\n"); asm ("this asm\n\t" "should not produce a warning"); } Results of checkpatch on that test case: WARNING: quoted string split across lines + " should produce a warning\n"); total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Acked-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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usage of these flags has been deprecated for nearly 4 years by: commit f77bf01425b11947eeb3b5b54685212c302741b8 Author: Sam Ravnborg <sam@neptun.(none)> Date: Mon Oct 15 22:25:06 2007 +0200 kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y Moreover, these flags (at least EXTRA_CFLAGS) have been documented for command line use. By default, gmake(1) do not override command line setting, so this is likely to result in build failure or unexpected behavior. Warn about their introduction in Makefile or Kbuild files.

* | checkpatch: add a --strict check for utf-8 in commit logsJoe Perches2011-10-311-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some find using utf-8 in commit logs inappropriate. Some patch commit logs contain unintended utf-8 characters when doing things like copy/pasting compilation output. Look for the start of any commit log by skipping initial lines that look like email headers and "From: " lines. Stop looking for utf-8 at the first signature line.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous behavior allowed only alphabetic prefixes like pr_info to exceed the 80 column line length limit. ath6kl wants to add a digit into the prefix, so allow numbers as well as digits in the <prefix>_<level> printks. <prefix>_<level>_ratelimited and <prefix>_<level>_once and WARN_RATELIMIT and WARN_ONCE may now exceed 80 cols. Add missing <prefix>_printk type for completeness.
