Kbuild: Fix deb-pkg target to work with kernel versions ending with -

2008-02-09T09:51:47+00:00

If CONIFIG_LOCALVERSION is set for example to -loop, the following error message was generated. dpkg-deb - error: Debian revision (`loop') doesn't contain any digits dpkg-deb: 1 errors in control file The patch solves this by adding a numeric revision to package version.

kbuild/modpost: improve warnings if symbol is unknown

2008-02-09T09:43:58+00:00

If we cannot determine the symbol then print (unknown) to hint the reader that we failed to find the symbol. This happens with REL relocation records in arm object files. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

This version brings the remainder of the queued fixes. A number of fixes for items missed reported by Andrew Morton and others. Also a handful of new checks and fixes for false positives. Of note: - new warning associated with --file to try and avoid cleanup only patches, - corrected handling of completly empty files, - corrected report handling with multiple files, - handling of possible types in the face of multiple declarations, - detection of unnessary braces on complex if statements (where present), and - all new comment spacing handling. Andi Kleen (1): Introduce a warning when --file mode is used Andy Whitcroft (14): Version: 0.14 clean up some space violations in checkpatch.pl a completly empty file should not provoke a whinge reset report lines buffers between files unary ++/-- may abutt close braces __typeof__ is also unary comments: revamp comment handling add --summary-file option adding filename to summary line trailing backslashes are not trailing statements handle operators passed as parameters such as to ASSERTCMP possible types -- enhance debugging check for boolean operations with constants possible types: handle multiple declarations detect and report if statements where all branches are single statements Arjan van de Ven (1): quiet option should not print the summary on no errors Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (1): warn about using __FUNCTION__ Timur Tabi (1): loosen spacing checks for __asm__ Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2008-02-08T17:22:36+00:00

This version brings a large number of fixes which have built up over the Christmas period. Mostly these are fixes for false positives, both through improvments to unary checks and possible type detection. It also brings new checks for while location and CVS keywords. Of note: - a number of fixes to unary detection - detection of a number of new forms of types to improve type matching - better inline handling - recognision of '%' as an operator Andy Whitcroft (28): Version: 0.13 unary detection: maintain bracket state across lines move to pre-sanitising the entire file the text of a #error statement should be treated like it is in quotes line sanitisation needs to target double backslash correctly tighten comment guestimation for lines starting ' * ' debug: add a debug framework prevent unclosed single quotes from spreading add % as an operator the text of a #warning statement should be treated like it is in quotes possible matching applies in typedefs single statement block checks must not trigger when two or more statements possible types: local variables may also be const treat inline as a type attribute to even when out of place possible types: sparse annotations are valid indicators possible types: beef up the possible type testing check for hanging while statements on the wrong line utf8 checks need to occur against the raw lines function brace checks should use any whitespece matches comments should take up space in the line when sanitised remove debugging from if assignment checks possible types -- ensure we detect all pointer casts fix tests for function spacing in the presence of #define clean up the UTF-8 error message to be clearer test-lib: invert the status report, output success counts detect and report CVS keywords tests: break out tests Add $Id$ to the CVS keyword checks Benny Halevy (1): checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive Geert Uytterhoeven (1): print the filenames of patches where available Mauro Carvalho Chehab (1): Fix missing \n in checkpatch.pl Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel-doc: warn on badly formatted short description

2008-02-07T16:42:17+00:00

Make kernel-doc warn when a function/struct/union/typedef does not contain a properly formatted short description, such as: * scsi_devinfo: set up the dynamic device list or * scsi_devinfo - This warning is only generated when verbose (-v) mode is used. Also explain the -v command line option in the -h output. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel-doc: prevent duplicate description: output

2008-02-07T16:42:17+00:00

Prevent duplicate output of a Description: section when there is a "blank" ("*") line between the initial function name/description line and the "Description:" header. Test case: drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c::scsi_init_devinfo(). Rob Landley hit this while he was producing SCSI kernel-doc.
