2017-02-27checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %zAlexey Dobriyan
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>
2017-02-24checkpatch: remove false unbalanced braces warningSven Eckelmann
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.

2016-10-11checkpatch: improve the octal permissions testsJoe Perches
The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines. The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches. Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span multiple lines. Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list. Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO> permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names. This can now find and fix permissions uses like: .mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b51bab60530912aae4ac420119d465c5b206f19f.1475030406.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: Ramiro Oliveira <roliveir@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-08-02checkpatch: check signoff when reading stdinAllen Hubbe
Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message. git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl - A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message, and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input contains a commit message. git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl - Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of "Your patch has style problems." git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/48be31e414bddc65bccfa6b1322359be9ba032eb.1469670589.git.allenbh@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe <allenbh@gmail.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Using \b isn't good enough to isolate what appears to be a commit id in a commit message. Make sure there is a space or a quote like character after a continuous run of hexadecimal characters that could be a commit id.

2016-07-12pmem: kill __pmem address spaceDan Williams
The __pmem address space was meant to annotate codepaths that touch persistent memory and need to coordinate a call to wmb_pmem(). Now that wmb_pmem() is gone, there is little need to keep this annotation.

2016-05-20checkpatch: improve --git <commit-count> shortcutJoe Perches
The --git <commit-count> shortcut can be confused by a tag with a dash like v4.4-rc1. Improve the test to verify the <commit-count> expression ends with a dash followed by a numeric value. Improve the git log result to verify the "<sha1> <subject>" output as well.

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").
