2009-10-29checkpatch: fix false EXPORT_SYMBOL warningAndy Whitcroft1-9/+39
Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning, static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key; struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map = STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key); EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this, WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.

2009-10-29checkpatch: fix __attribute__ matchingAndy Whitcroft1-2/+2
In the following code, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.

2009-10-29checkpatch: fix false errors due to macro concatenationAndy Whitcroft1-1/+4
The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator. For example this line, + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \ is correct but it produces the following error, ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB) + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\ ^ The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors. Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the definition of an identifier.

2009-10-29checkpatch: correctly stop scanning at the bottom of a hunkAndy Whitcroft1-1/+2
We are allowing context scanning checks to apply against the first line of context outside at the end of the hunk. This can lead to false matches to patch names leading to various perl warnings.

Add checks for Blackfin-specific issues that seem to crop up from time to time.

2009-01-07checkpatch: ensure we actually detect if assignments split across linesAndy Whitcroft1-1/+1

2009-01-07checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patchesWolfram Sang1-1/+7
Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning. Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's start with a version which catches the cases of real use.
