checkpatch: fix ignoring cover-letter logic

2017-10-04T00:54:26Z

Currently running checkpatch on a directory with a cover-letter.patch file reports the following error: ----------------------------------------- patches/smp-v2/v2-0000-cover-letter.patch ----------------------------------------- ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch The logic to suppress the unified-diff check for cover letters is there but is checking $file instead of $filename. Fix the variable to use the correct one.

checkpatch: add 6 missing types to --list-types

2017-09-09T01:26:50Z

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the output of --list-types. Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too. So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

checkpatch: rename variables to avoid confusion

2017-09-09T01:26:50Z

The variable name "$msg_type" is sometimes used to set the message type, and sometimes used to set the message level. This works but is kind of confusing. Use "$msg_level" in the latter case instead, to make the code clearer.

checkpatch: add --strict check for ifs with unnecessary parentheses

2017-09-09T01:26:50Z

An if statement test like if ((foo == bar) && (baz != qux)) can arguably be better written without the parentheses as if (foo == bar && baz != qux) Add a test to find these cases.

checkpatch: improve the STORAGE_CLASS test

2017-07-12T23:26:04Z

Make sure static, extern, and asmlinkage appear before a specific type. e.g.: int asmlinkage foo(void) is better written asmlinkage int foo(void) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/31704c96df2d5fd9df0b41165940a7a4feb16a63.1499284835.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: improve multi-line alignment test

2017-07-10T23:32:35Z

The current test fails to warn about improper alignment with code like foo->bar = func(arg1, arg2); because foo->bar is not a single identifier. Convert the $Ident to $Lval which allows for multiple dereferences.

checkpatch: improve macro reuse test

2017-07-10T23:32:35Z

checkpatch reports a false positive when using token pasting argument multiple times in a macro. Fix it. Miscellanea: o Make the $tmp variable name used in the macro argument tests a bit more descriptive Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/cf434ae7602838388c7cb49d42bca93ab88527e7.1498483044.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: change format of --color argument to --color[=WHEN]

2017-07-10T23:32:35Z

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when the output is a terminal. The default is "auto". The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

checkpatch: silence perl 5.26.0 unescaped left brace warnings

2017-07-10T23:32:35Z

As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.
