checkpatch: add warning for non-lore mailing list URLs
The lkml.org, marc.info, spinics.net, etc archives are not quite as useful as lore.kernel.org because they use different styles, add advertising, and may disappear in the future. The lore archives are more consistent and more likely to stick around, so prefer https://lore.kernel.org URLs when they exist. [bhelgaas@google.com: only warn if we see "http" before the archive hostname] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221114224315.GA939630@bhelgaas Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221019202843.40810-1-helgaas@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> # build-tested Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
