2014-01-27checkpatch.pl: check for function declarations without argumentsJoe Perches
Functions like this one are evil: void foo() { ... } Because these functions allow variadic arguments without checking the arguments at all. Original patch by Richard Weinberger.

2014-01-23checkpatch: only flag FSF address, not gnu.org URLAlexander Duyck
This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in numerous drivers. The idea is to still allow some reference to an external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the kernel tree without the COPYING file. So for example this statement will still return an error: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. However, this statement will not return an error after this patch: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program.

2014-01-23checkpatch: attempt to find missing switch/case break;Joe Perches
switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately common error. e.g.: commit 4a2c94c9b6c0 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard") case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue. If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is intentional. Ideally that comment should be something like: "/* fall-through */" Add a test to look for missing break statements. This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context. Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence. The normal kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.

2013-09-11checkpatch: add test for positional misuse of section specifiers like __initdataJoe Perches
As discussed recently on the arm [1] and lm-sensors [2] lists, it is possible to use section markers on variables in a way which gcc doesn't understand (or at least not the way the developer intended): static struct __initdata samsung_pll_clock exynos4_plls[nr_plls] = { does NOT put exynos4_plls in the .initdata section. The __initdata marker can be virtually anywhere on the line, EXCEPT right after "struct". The preferred location is before the "=" sign if there is one, or before the trailing ";" otherwise.

2013-09-11checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time usedJoe Perches
There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete. Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only comments. This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines. One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could be done multiple times unnecessarily. A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take 1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.

It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly with messages like: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340. The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at _best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be completely broken. If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error messages. This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch will let folks override this if they want.

2013-07-03checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...Joe Perches
When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep. This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there is a CamelCase use found. If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h" Signed-off-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>
2013-07-03checkpatch: ignore SI unit CamelCase variants like "_uV"Joe Perches
Many existing variable names use SI like variants that should be otherwise obvious and acceptable. Whitelist them from the CamelCase message.

2013-07-03checkpatch: move test for space before semicolon after operator spacingJoe Perches
Moving this test allows the --fix option to work better. 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>
2013-07-03checkpatch: create an EXPERIMENTAL --fix option to correct patchesJoe Perches
Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so. Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

2013-07-03checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" testJoe Perches
Some false positives exist on this test. For instance: *va_arg(args, signed char *) = val.s; or memset(foo, 0, sizeof(struct bar *) * baz)); Ignore lines that have an arithmetic operator or assignment after what appears to be a cast to a pointer "(foo *)". Add $Arithmetic convenience variable.

2013-07-03checkpatch: add a --strict test for comparison to true/falseJoe Perches
Comparing to true or false is error prone. Add tests for the various forms of (foo == true) && (false != bar) that are only reported with --strict.

2013-07-03checkpatch: don't warn on blank lines before/after braces as oftenJoe Perches
