2017-09-09checkpatch: add 6 missing types to --list-typesJean Delvare1-1/+2
Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the output of --list-types. Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too. So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

2017-09-09checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusionJean Delvare1-16/+16
The variable name "$msg_type" is sometimes used to set the message type, and sometimes used to set the message level. This works but is kind of confusing. Use "$msg_level" in the latter case instead, to make the code clearer.

2017-07-11checkpatch: change format of --color argument to --color[=WHEN]John Brooks1-6/+29
The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when the output is a terminal. The default is "auto". The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885.

2017-06-27vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device treePantelis Antoniou1-1/+1
90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every node. For instance typical use is: pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name); Which can be written now as: pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node); '%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF' representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the only supported type of kobject. More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name, flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry. Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

2017-06-08checkpatch: Remove checks for expedited grace periodsPaul E. McKenney1-17/+0
There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives (synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other. This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use of the expedited RCU primitives. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-05-14scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebangKamil Rytarowski1-1/+2
The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior.

2017-05-09checkpatch: add --typedefsfileJerome Forissier1-17/+35
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings. Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and deal with this issue. This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

2017-02-28checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %zAlexey Dobriyan1-9/+20
vsnprintf extension %Z<foo> is non-standard C. Suggest the use of %z instead. Miscellanea: - Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL type strings are supposed to be uppercase only. Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the type check in case I forget this again sometime in the future. - Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all 3 current checks are done on the format string [joe@perches.com: correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL, improve the mechanism to find these defects] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4e3ad74b0c9dc229b06018a2d79655308ddbbebd.1484014173.git.joe@perches.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170109235955.GA6787@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-02-25checkpatch: remove false unbalanced braces warningSven Eckelmann1-2/+2
Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces. But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character (like the relevant "}"). This check would also return true for "} else {" and create warnings like CHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement #391: FILE: ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c:391: + } else { The check can be changed to check the whole line for the missing "}" to avoid this false positive.
