checkpatch: fix unescaped left brace

2020-12-29T12:47:02Z

[ Upstream commit 03f4935135b9efeb780b970ba023c201f81cf4e6 ] There is an unescaped left brace in a regex in OPEN_BRACE check. This throws a runtime error when checkpatch is run with --fix flag and the OPEN_BRACE check is executed. Fix it by escaping the left brace.

checkpatch: fix the usage of capture group ( ... )

2020-09-09T17:03:13Z

commit 13e45417cedbfc44b1926124b1846f5ee8c6ba4a upstream. The usage of "capture group (...)" in the immediate condition after `&&` results in `$1` being uninitialized. This issues a warning "Use of uninitialized value $1 in regexp compilation at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 2638". I noticed this bug while running checkpatch on the set of commits from v5.7 to v5.8-rc1 of the kernel on the commits with a diff content in their commit message. This bug was introduced in the script by commit e518e9a59ec3 ("checkpatch: emit an error when there's a diff in a changelog"). It has been in the script since then. The author intended to store the match made by capture group in variable `$1`. This should have contained the name of the file as `[\w/]+` matched. However, this couldn't be accomplished due to usage of capture group and `$1` in the same regular expression. Fix this by placing the capture group in the condition before `&&`. Thus, `$1` can be initialized to the text that capture group matches thereby setting it to the desired and required value.

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.
