checkpatch: improve OPEN_BRACE test

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Some structure definitions that use macros trip the OPEN_BRACE test. e.g. +struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") control_map = { Improve the test by using $balanced_parens instead of a .* Miscellanea: o Use $sline so any comments are ignored o Correct the message output from declaration to definition o Remove unnecessary parentheses Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db9b772999d1d2fbda3b9ee24bbca81a87837e13.1517543491.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: avoid some false positives for TABSTOP declaration test

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Using an open bracket after what seems to be a declaration can also be a function definition and declaration argument line continuation so remove the open bracket from the possible declaration/definition matching. e.g.: int foobar(int a; int *b[]); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1515704479.9619.171.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: exclude drivers/staging from if with unnecessary parentheses test

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Greg KH doesn't like this test so exclude the staging directory from the implied --strict only test unless --strict is actually used on the command-line.

checkpatch: improve the TABSTOP test to include declarations

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Declarations should start on a tabstop too. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1b5f97673f36595956ad43329f77bf1a5546d2ff.1513976662.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add a few DEVICE_ATTR style tests

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

DEVICE_ATTR is a declaration macro that has a few alternate and preferred forms like DEVICE_ATTR_RW, DEVICE_ATTR_RO, and DEVICE_ATTR. As well, many uses of DEVICE_ATTR could use the preferred forms when the show or store functions are also named in a regular form. Suggest the preferred forms when appropriate. Also emit a permissions warning if the the permissions are not the typical 0644, 0444, or 0200.

checkpatch: improve quoted string and line continuation test

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Given this patch context, +#define EFI_ST_DISK_IMG { \ + 0x00000240, "\xbe\x5b\x7c\xac\x22\xc0\x74\x0b" /* .[|.".t. */ \ + } the current code misreports a quoted string line continuation defect as there is a single quote in comment. The 'raw' line should not be tested for quote count, the comment substituted line should be instead.

checkpatch: ignore some octal permissions of 0

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

module_param and create_proc uses with a permissions use of a single 0 are "special" and should not emit any warning. module_param uses with permission 0 are not visible in sysfs create_proc uses with permission 0 use a default permission Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b6583611bb529ea6f6d43786827fddbabbab0a71.1513190059.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: allow long lines containing URL

2018-02-07T02:32:45Z

Allow lines with URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction in adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice. $ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]' As per RFC3986 [1], the URL format allows for alphanum, +, - and . characters in the scheme before the separator :// as long as it starts with a letter (e.g. https, git, f.-+). Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics. $rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

2018-02-01T21:36:15Z

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning

2018-01-09T09:45:39Z

We deprecated '%pF/%pf' printk specifiers, since '%pS/%ps' is now smart enough to handle function pointer dereference on platforms where such dereference is required.
