checkpatch: fix "GLOBAL_INITIALISERS" test

2015-06-10T23:43:43Z

Commit d5e616fc1c1d ("checkpatch: add a few more --fix corrections") broke the GLOBAL_INITIALISERS test with bad parentheses and optional leading spaces. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Bandan Das Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: avoid "spaces required around that ':'" false positive

2015-04-17T13:03:59Z

Since commit 1f65f947a6a8 ("checkpatch: add checks for question mark and colon spacing") back in 2008, checkpatch has reported false positive for asm volatile uses of "::" checkpatch thinks colons should always have spaces around it. Add an exception for colons with colons on either side for this valid asm volatile (and c++) use.

checkpatch: fix --fix use with a patch of multiple files

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

If a patch touches multiple files, the --fix and --fix-inplace option doesn't keep the proper line count and makes the new patch file not able to be applied via bad offset line numbers when lines are added or deleted by the --fix option. Dunno how that extra backslash snuck in there. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch.pl: new instances of ENOSYS are errors

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

ENOSYS means that a nonexistent system call was called. We have a bad habit of using it for things like invalid operations on otherwise valid syscalls. We should avoid this in new code. Pervasive incorrect usage of ENOSYS came up at the kernel summit ABI review discussion. Let's see if checkpatch can help. I'll submit a separate patch for include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h.

checkpatch: add a test for const with __read_mostly uses

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

const objects shouldn't be __read_mostly. They are read-only. Marking these objects as __read_mostly causes section conflicts with LTO linking. So add a test to try to avoid this issue.

checkpatch: improve operator spacing check

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

Code such as: x = timercmp(&now, &end, <); Will currently trigger a checkpatch error. e.g. ERROR: spaces required around that '<' This is because the "Ignore operators passed as parameters" check looks only for a comma following the operator. Improve the check by also looking for a close parenthesis. Signed-off-by: Sam Bobroff Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add 'Prefer ARRAY_SIZE" test

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

Add a test for sizeof(foo)/sizeof(foo[0]) that could be ARRAY_SIZE(foo). Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add uart_ops to normally const structs

2015-04-17T13:03:58Z

Add another struct to the list of normally const struct types Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Maxime Coquelin Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add #define foo "string" long line exception

2015-04-17T13:03:57Z

There are #defines with long string constants like: #define foo "some really long string > 80 columns" Add a long line exception for them. Miscellanea: Use the $String variable for slightly better readability Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Madalin-Cristian Bucur Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch, SubmittingPatches: suggest line wrapping commit messages at 75 columns

2015-04-17T13:03:57Z

Commit messages lines are sometimes overly long. Suggest line wrapping at 75 columns so the default git commit log indentation of 4 plus the commit message text still fits on an 80 column screen. Add a checkpatch test for long commit messages lines too. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: David Miller Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Ian Morris Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
