The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same
name or same address are not handled separately.
For example, running checkpatch on commit be6577af0cef ("parisc: Add
atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups"), gives:
WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author
'John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>'
The signoff line was:
"Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>"
Clearly the author has signed off but with a slightly different version
of his name. A more appropriate warning would have been to point out
at the name mismatch instead.
Previously, the values assumed by $authorsignoff were either 0 or 1
to indicate whether a proper sign off by author is present.
Extended the checks to handle four new cases.
$authorsignoff values now denote the following:
0: Missing sign off by patch author.
1: Sign off present and identical.
2: Addresses and names match, but comments differ.
"James Watson(JW) <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
3: Addresses match, but names are different.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James <james@gmail.com>"
4: Names match, but addresses are different.
"James Watson <james@watson.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
5: Names match, addresses excluding subaddress details (RFC 5233) match.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james+a@gmail.com>"
Also introduced a new message type FROM_SIGN_OFF_MISMATCH
for cases 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Checkpatch.pl doesn't have a check for excluding while (...) {...} blocks
from MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE error.
For example, running checkpatch.pl on the file mm/maccess.c in the kernel
generates the following error:
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop(dst, src, len, type, err_label) \
+ while (len >= sizeof(type)) { \
+ __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label); \
+ dst += sizeof(type); \
+ src += sizeof(type); \
+ len -= sizeof(type); \
+ }
The error is misleading for this case. Enclosing it in parentheses
doesn't make any sense.
Checkpatch already has an exception list for such common macro types.
Added a new exception for while (...) {...} style blocks to the same.
In addition, the brace flatten logic was modified by changing the
substitution characters from "1" to "1u". This was done to ensure that
macros in the form "#define foo(bar) while(bar){bar--;}" were also
correctly procecssed.

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split
into multiple lines. The author identity could not be resolved and
checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning.
A typical example is commit e33bcbab16d1 ("tee: add support for session's
client UUID generation"). When checkpatch was run on this commit, it
displayed:
"WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal
patch author ''"
This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the
author himself wrote in commit cd2614967d8b ("checkpatch: warn if missing
author Signed-off-by"):
"Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part
is compared."
Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension
lines. RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start
with a WSP character (a space or htab). The solution was therefore to
concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long
header.

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d960a
("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly
useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs".
Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid
compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old
uninitialized_var macro behavior.

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have
used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single
function or value on a single line are detected by this test.
e.g.:
foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */
bar = baz();
Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses.
No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false
negatives are possible.
e.g.:
foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */
bar = baz();

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_
environment variable. Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with
a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does
not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all. Such projects may still want to adhere
to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl.
One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have
configuration options prefixed with CFG_. It also mostly follows the
kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite
valuable.
To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.

The usage of "capture group (...)" in the immediate condition after `&&`
results in `$1` being uninitialized. This issues a warning "Use of
uninitialized value $1 in regexp compilation at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
line 2638".
I noticed this bug while running checkpatch on the set of commits from
v5.7 to v5.8-rc1 of the kernel on the commits with a diff content in
their commit message.
This bug was introduced in the script by commit e518e9a59ec3
("checkpatch: emit an error when there's a diff in a changelog"). It
has been in the script since then.
The author intended to store the match made by capture group in variable
`$1`. This should have contained the name of the file as `[\w/]+`
matched. However, this couldn't be accomplished due to usage of capture
group and `$1` in the same regular expression.
Fix this by placing the capture group in the condition before `&&`.
Thus, `$1` can be initialized to the text that capture group matches
thereby setting it to the desired and required value.

Checkpatch reports warnings when some specific structs are not declared as
const in the code. The list of structs to consider was initially defined
in the checkpatch.pl script itself, but it was later moved to an external
file (scripts/const_structs.checkpatch), in commit bf1fa1dae68e
("checkpatch: externalize the structs that should be const"). This
introduced two minor issues:
- When file scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is not present (for
example, if checkpatch is run outside of the kernel directory with the
"--no-tree" option), a warning is printed to stderr to tell the user
that "No structs that should be const will be found". This is fair,
but the warning is printed unconditionally, even if the option
"--ignore CONST_STRUCT" is passed. In the latter case, we explicitly
ask checkpatch to skip this check, so no warning should be printed.
- When scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is missing, or even when trying
to silence the warning by adding an empty file, $const_structs is set
to "", and the regex used for finding structs that should be const,
"$line =~ /struct\s+($const_structs)(?!\s*\{)/)", matches all
structs found in the code, thus reporting a number of false positives.
Let's fix the first item by skipping scripts/const_structs.checkpatch
processing if "CONST_STRUCT" checks are ignored, and the second one by
skipping the test if $const_structs is not defined. Since we modify the
read_words() function a little bit, update the checks for
$typedefsfile/$typeOtherTypedefs as well.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], partially revert
commit 16b7f3c89907 ("checkpatch: avoid warning about uninitialized_var()")
and remove all remaining mentions of uninitialized_var().

Pull the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer from Thomas Gleixner:
"The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector,
which relies on compile-time instrumentation, and uses a
watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
The feature was under development for quite some time and has already
found legitimate bugs.
Unfortunately it comes with a limitation, which was only understood
late in the development cycle:
It requires an up to date CLANG-11 compiler
CLANG-11 is not yet released (scheduled for June), but it's the only
compiler today which handles the kernel requirements and especially
the annotations of functions to exclude them from KCSAN
instrumentation correctly.
These annotations really need to work so that low level entry code and
especially int3 text poke handling can be completely isolated.
A detailed discussion of the requirements and compiler issues can be
found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CANpmjNMTsY_8241bS7=XAfqvZHFLrVEkv_uM4aDUWE_kh3Rvbw@mail.gmail.com/
We came to the conclusion that trying to work around compiler
limitations and bugs again would end up in a major trainwreck, so
requiring a working compiler seemed to be the best choice.
For Continous Integration purposes the compiler restriction is
manageable and that's where most xxSAN reports come from.
For a change this limitation might make GCC people actually look at
their bugs. Some issues with CSAN in GCC are 7 years old and one has
been 'fixed' 3 years ago with a half baken solution which 'solved' the
reported issue but not the underlying problem.
The KCSAN developers also ponder to use a GCC plugin to become
independent, but that's not something which will show up in a few
days.
Blocking KCSAN until wide spread compiler support is available is not
a really good alternative because the continuous growth of lockless
optimizations in the kernel demands proper tooling support"

Adding a new kernel parameter with documentation makes checkpatch complain
__setup appears un-documented -- check Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
The list of kernel parameters has moved to a separate txt file, but
checkpatch has not been updated for this.
Make checkpatch.pl look for the documentation for new kernel parameters
in kernel-parameters.txt instead of kernel-parameters.rst.

While "git am" can apply an mbox file containing multiple patches (e.g.
as created by b4[1], or a patch bundle downloaded from patchwork),
checkpatch does not have proper support for that. When operating on an
mbox, checkpatch will merge all detected tags, and complain falsely about
duplicates:
WARNING: Duplicate signature
As modifying checkpatch to reset state in between each patch is a lot of
work, a simple solution is splitting the mbox into individual patches, and
invoking checkpatch for each of them. Fortunately checkpatch can read a
patch from stdin, so the classic "formail" tool can be used to split the
mbox, and pipe all individual patches to checkpatch:
formail -s scripts/checkpatch.pl < my-mbox
However, when reading a patch file from standard input, checkpatch calls
it "Your patch", and reports its state as:
Your patch has style problems, please review.
or:
Your patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
Hence it can be difficult to identify which patches need to be reviewed
and improved.
Fix this by replacing "Your patch" by (the first line of) the email
subject, if present.
Note that "git mailsplit" can also be used to split an mbox, but it will
create individual files for each patch, thus requiring cleanup afterwards.
Formail does not have this disadvantage.

xdp_umem.c had overlapping changes between the 64-bit math fix
for the calculation of npgs and the removal of the zerocopy
memory type which got rid of the chunk_size_nohdr member.
The mlx5 Kconfig conflict is a case where we just take the
net-next copy of the Kconfig entry dependency as it takes on
the ESWITCH dependency by one level of indirection which is
what the 'net' conflicting change is trying to ensure.

Yes, staying withing 80 columns is certainly still _preferred_. But
it's not the hard limit that the checkpatch warnings imply, and other
concerns can most certainly dominate.
Increase the default limit to 100 characters. Not because 100
characters is some hard limit either, but that's certainly a "what are
you doing" kind of value and less likely to be about the occasional
slightly longer lines.
Miscellanea:
- to avoid unnecessary whitespace changes in files, checkpatch will no
longer emit a warning about line length when scanning files unless
--strict is also used
- Add a bit to coding-style about alignment to open parenthesis

ENOTSUPP often feels like the right error code to use, but it's
in fact not a standard Unix error. E.g.:
$ python
>>> import errno
>>> errno.errorcode[errno.ENOTSUPP]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'errno' has no attribute 'ENOTSUPP'
There were numerous commits converting the uses back to EOPNOTSUPP
but in some cases we are stuck with the high error code for backward
compatibility reasons.
Let's try prevent more ENOTSUPPs from getting into the kernel.
Recent example:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510182252.GA411829@lunn.ch/
v3 (Joe):
- fix the "not file" condition.
v2 (Joe):
- add a link to recent discussion,
- don't match when scanning files, not patches to avoid sudden
influx of conversion patches.

Linux kernel coding style requires a size of 8 characters for both TAB and
indentation, and such value is embedded as magic value allover the
checkpatch script.
This makes hard to reuse the script by other projects with different
requirements in their coding style (e.g. OpenOCD [1] requires TAB size of
4 characters [2]).
Replace the magic value 8 with a variable.
Add a command-line option "--tab-size" to let the user select a
TAB size value other than 8.

Commit 1574a29f8e76 ("checkpatch: allow multiple const * types") claims to
support repetition of pattern "const *", but it actually allows only one
extra instance.
Check the following lines
int a(char const * const x[]);
int b(char const * const *x);
int c(char const * const * const x[]);
int d(char const * const * const *x);
with command
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --show-types -f filename
to find that only the first line passes the test, while a warning
is triggered by the other 3 lines:
WARNING:FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS: function definition argument
'char const * const' should also have an identifier name
The reason is that the pattern match halts at the second asterisk in the
line, thus the remaining text starting with asterisk fails to match a
valid name for a variable.
Fixed by replacing "?" (Match 1 or 0 times) with "{0,4}" (Match no more
than 4 times) in the regular expression. Fix also the similar test for
types in unusual order.

In order to support the get-lore-mbox.py tool described in [1], I ran:
git format-patch --base=<commit> --cover-letter <revrange>
... which generated a "base-commit: <commit-hash>" tag at the end of the
cover letter. However, checkpatch.pl generated an error upon encounting
"base-commit:" in the cover letter:
"ERROR: Please use git commit description style..."
... because it found the "commit" keyword, and failed to recognize that
it was part of the "base-commit" phrase, and as such, should not be
subjected to the same commit description style rules.
Update checkpatch.pl to include a special case for "base-commit:" (at the
start of the line, possibly with some leading whitespace) so that that tag
no longer generates a checkpatch error.

checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to

Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment
