2016-05-20checkpatch: reduce number of `git log` calls with --gitJoe Perches
checkpatch currently calls git log multiple times to first get the <revision range> sha1 values and again to get the subject for each individual sha1 commit. Always get the sha1 and subject at the same time instead. Store the subject in a sha1 hash to avoid the second git log exec.

2016-03-15checkpatch: fix another left brace warningGeyslan G. Bem
This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace. Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;" Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like "\b"." This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace warning").

2016-02-23sparse: Add __private to privatize members of structsBoqun Feng
In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses. Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member, sparse will yell. Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE() are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it detect an undersigned public use: | kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) | kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock | kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident> Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for "#else" and "#endif".

2016-01-20checkpatch: improve macros with flow control testJoe Perches
The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being reported with hidden flow control. Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or ##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement. Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.

2015-06-25checkpatch: add --showfile to allow input via pipe to show filenamesJoe Perches
Using "git diff | ./scripts/checkpatch -" does not have an easy mechanism to see the files and lines actually modified. Add --showfile to see the file and line specified in the diff. When --showfile is used without --terse, the second line of each message output is redundant, so it is removed.
