2021-09-08checkpatch: improve GIT_COMMIT_ID testJoe Perches1-31/+51
The preferred git commit id reference has the form commit <SHA-1> ("Title line") where SHA-1 is the commit hex hash with a minimum lenth of 12 and ("Title line") is the complete title line of the commit with a (" prefix and ") suffix. The current tests fail when the "Title line" has one or more embedded double quotes. Improve the test that finds the commit SHA-1 hex hash then ("Title line") by using $balanced_parens for a maximum of 3 consecutive lines.

2021-09-08checkpatch: make email address check case insensitiveMimi Zohar1-2/+2
Instead of checkpatch requiring the patch author to exactly match the signed-off-by tag, commit 48ca2d8ac8a1 ("checkpatch: add new warnings to author signoff checks.") safely relaxed this requirement. Although the local-part of an email address (local-part@domain), may be case sensitive, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouraged. Mailbox domains follow normal DNS rules and are hence not case sensitive. (Refer to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.4.) Further relax the patch author and signed-off-by tag comparison by making the email address check case insensitive.

2021-07-01checkpatch: do not complain about positive return values starting with EPOLLGuenter Roeck1-1/+1
checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions. Example: WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN) + return EPOLLIN; Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than perfect solution. There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.

2021-07-01checkpatch: improve the indented label testJoe Perches1-3/+7
checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon immediately follows an identifier. Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit that may be used to define a bitfield length. Miscellanea: o Improve the initial checkpatch comment o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and' o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit (Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation) o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)' Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b54d673e7cde7de5de0c9ba4dd57dd0858580ca4.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Manikishan Ghantasala <manikishanghantasala@gmail.com> Cc: Alex Elder <elder@ieee.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2021-07-01checkpatch: scripts/spdxcheck.py now requires python3Guenter Roeck1-2/+2
Since commit d0259c42abff ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py", the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for python3. Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in <module> import git ImportError: No module named git To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute it directly.

2021-03-07checkpatch: add verbose modeDwaipayan Ray1-20/+113
Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch.pl to emit additional verbose test descriptions. The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled by the flag -v or --verbose. The test descriptions are parsed from the checkpatch documentation file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`. The test descriptions in the docs are kept in a fixed format grouped by usage. Some examples of this format are: **LINE_SPACING** Vertical space is wasted given the limited number of lines an editor window can display when multiple blank lines are used. **MISSING_SIGN_OFF** The patch is missing a Signed-off-by line. A signed-off-by line should be added according to Developer's certificate of Origin. To avoid lengthy output, the verbose description is printed only for the first instance of a particular message type. The --verbose option cannot be used along with the --terse option. Verbose mode can be used with the --list-types option. The --list-types output also supports color coding now.

objtool requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol names that have a '.L' prefix do not emit symbol table entries, as they have special meaning for the assembler.

Use copies of $sline and $prevline, remove $Attribute and $Sparse, and use the existing tests to avoid these false positives.

2020-12-16checkpatch: fix TYPO_SPELLING check for words with apostropheDwaipayan Ray1-2/+5
checkpatch reports a false TYPO_SPELLING warning for some words containing an apostrophe when run with --codespell option. A false positive is "doesn't". Occurrence of the word causes checkpatch to emit the following warning: "WARNING: 'doesn'' may be misspelled - perhaps 'doesn't'?" Modify the regex pattern to be more in line with the codespell default word matching regex. This fixes the word capture and avoids the false warning. In addition, highlight the misspelled word location by adding a caret below the word.

An evaluation over v4.13..v5.8 showed that out of 539 warnings due to non-standard signatures, 87 are due to typo mistakes.

2020-12-16checkpatch: improve email parsingDwaipayan Ray1-17/+91
checkpatch doesn't report warnings for many common mistakes in emails. Some of which are trailing commas and incorrect use of email comments. At the same time several false positives are reported due to incorrect handling of mail comments. The most common of which is due to the pattern: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # X.X Improve email parsing in checkpatch. Some general email rules are defined: - Multiple name comments should not be allowed. - Comments inside address should not be allowed. - In general comments should be enclosed within parentheses. Relaxation is given to comments beginning with #. - Stable addresses should not begin with a name. - Comments in stable addresses should begin only with a #. Improvements to parsing: - Detect and report unexpected content after email. - Quoted names are excluded from comment parsing. - Trailing dots, commas or quotes in email are removed during formatting. Correspondingly a BAD_SIGN_OFF warning is emitted. - Improperly quoted email like '"name <address>"' are now warned about. In addition, added fixes for all the possible rules.

2020-12-16checkpatch: extend attributes check to handle more patternsDwaipayan Ray1-38/+71
It is generally preferred that the macros from include/linux/compiler_attributes.h are used, unless there is a reason not to. checkpatch currently checks __attribute__ for each of packed, aligned, section, printf, scanf, and weak. Other declarations in compiler_attributes.h are not handled. Add a generic test to check the presence of such attributes. Some attributes require more specific handling and are kept separate. Also add fixes to the generic attributes check to substitute the correct conversions. New attributes which are now handled are: __always_inline__ __assume_aligned__(a, ## __VA_ARGS__) __cold__ __const__ __copy__(symbol) __designated_init__ __externally_visible__ __gnu_inline__ __malloc__ __mode__(x) __no_caller_saved_registers__ __noclone__ __noinline__ __nonstring__ __noreturn__ __pure__ __unused__ __used__ Declarations which contain multiple attributes like __attribute__((__packed__, __cold__)) are also handled except when proper conversions for one or more attributes of the list cannot be determined.

There are about 100,000 uses of 'static const <type>' but about 400 uses of 'static <type> const' in the kernel where type is not a pointer. The kernel almost always uses "static const" over "const static" as there is a compiler warning for that declaration style. But there is no compiler warning for "static <type> const". So add a checkpatch warning for the atypical declaration uses of. const static <type> <foo> and static <type> const <foo> For example: $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --emacs --quiet --nosummary -types=static_const arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: WARNING: Move const after static - use 'static const u8' #75: FILE: arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: + static u8 const rcon[] = { Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4b863be68e679546b40d50b97a4a806c03056a1c.camel@perches.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>

2020-12-16checkpatch: fix false positives in REPEATED_WORD warningAditya Srivastava1-1/+15
Presence of hexadecimal address or symbol results in false warning message by checkpatch.pl. For example, running checkpatch on commit b8ad540dd4e4 ("mptcp: fix memory leak in mptcp_subflow_create_socket()") results in warning: WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'ff' 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2f 30 0a 81 88 ff ff ........./0..... Similarly, the presence of list command output in commit results in an unnecessary warning. For example, running checkpatch on commit 899e5ffbf246 ("perf record: Introduce --switch-output-event") gives: WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'root' dr-xr-x---. 12 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:46 .. Here, it reports 'ff' and 'root' to be repeated, but it is in fact part of some address or code, where it has to be repeated. In these cases, the intent of the warning to find stylistic issues in commit messages is not met and the warning is just completely wrong in this case. To avoid these warnings, add an additional regex check for the directory permission pattern and avoid checking the line for this class of warning. Similarly, to avoid hex pattern, check if the word consists of hex symbols and skip this warning if it is not among the common english words formed using hex letters. A quick evaluation on v5.6..v5.8 showed that this fix reduces REPEATED_WORD warnings by the frequency of 1890. A quick manual check found all cases are related to hex output or list command outputs in commit messages.
