Pull scope-based resource management infrastructure from Peter Zijlstra: "These are the first few patches in the Scope-based Resource Management series that introduce the infrastructure but not any conversions as of yet. Adding the infrastructure now allows multiple people to start using them. Of note is that Sparse will need some work since it doesn't yet understand this attribute and might have decl-after-stmt issues" * tag 'core_guards_for_6.5_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue: kbuild: Drop -Wdeclaration-after-statement locking: Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure apparmor: Free up __cleanup() name dmaengine: ioat: Free up __cleanup() name

locking: Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure

2023-06-26T09:14:18+00:00

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build: - simple auto-release pointers using __free() - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for scope-based resource management. - lock guards based on the above classes.

checkpatch: Check for 0-length and 1-element arrays

2023-06-05T22:31:12+00:00

Fake flexible arrays have been deprecated since last millennium. Proper C99 flexible arrays must be used throughout the kernel so CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS can provide proper array bounds checking.

checkpatch: Check for strcpy and strncpy too

2023-05-30T23:42:01+00:00

Warn about strcpy(), strncpy(), and strlcpy(). Suggest strscpy() and include pointers to the open KSPP issues for each, which has further details and replacement procedures.

checkpatch: introduce proper bindings license check

2023-04-18T23:39:35+00:00

All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of the whole DT bindings system. The requirement is dual licensed and matching patterns: * Schemas: /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR BSD-2-Clause/ * Headers: /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR \S+/ Above patterns suggested by Rob at: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_Jsq+-YJsBO+LuPJ=ZQ=eb-monrwzuCppvReH+af7hYZzNaQ@mail.gmail.com The issue was found during patch review: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230313201259.19998-4-ddrokosov@sberdevices.ru/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230404191715.7319-1-ddrokosov@sberdevices.ru Signed-off-by: Dmitry Rokosov Reviewed-by: Rob Herring Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Dwaipayan Ray Cc: Joe Perches Cc: Krzysztof Kozlowski Cc: Lukas Bulwahn Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

checkpatch: check for misuse of the link tags

2023-04-18T23:39:32+00:00

"Link:" and "Closes:" tags have to be used with public URLs. It is difficult to make sure the link is public but at least we can verify the tag is followed by 'http(s)://'. With that, we avoid such a tag that is not allowed [1]: Closes: Now that we check the "link" tags are followed by a URL, we can relax the check linked to "Reported-by being followed by a link tag" to only verify if a "link" tag is present after the "Reported-by" one.

checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links

2023-04-18T23:39:32+00:00

As a follow-up of a previous patch modifying the documentation to allow using the "Closes:" tag, checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly. checkpatch.pl now no longer complain when the "Closes:" tag is used by itself: commit 76f381bb77a0 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links") ... or after the "Reported-by:" tag: commit d7f1d71e5ef6 ("checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:") Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/373 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230314-doc-checkpatch-closes-tag-v4-4-d26d1fa66f9f@tessares.net Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts Acked-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Bagas Sanjaya Cc: Daniel Vetter Cc: David Airlie Cc: Dwaipayan Ray Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Kai Wasserbäch Cc: Konstantin Ryabitsev Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Lukas Bulwahn Cc: Thorsten Leemhuis Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

checkpatch: use a list of "link" tags

2023-04-18T23:39:32+00:00

The following commit will allow the use of a similar "link" tag. Because there is a possibility that other similar tags will be added in the future and to reduce the number of places where the code will be modified to allow this new tag, a list with all these "link" tags is now used. Two variables are created from it: one to search for such tags and one to print all tags in a warning message.

checkpatch: don't print the next line if not defined

2023-04-18T23:39:32+00:00

When checking if "Reported-by" tag is followed by "Link:", there is no need to print the next line if there is no next line. While at it, also mention in this case that the "Link:" tag should be followed by a URL, similar to the next warning. By doing that, the code is now similar to what is done above when checking if the Co-developed-by tag is properly used.
