checkpatch: fix unescaped left brace

2020-12-29T12:42:40Z

[ 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 ( ... )

2020-09-12T09:45:31Z

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: silence perl 5.26.0 unescaped left brace warnings

2017-07-21T05:44:57Z

commit 8d81ae05d0176da1c54aeaed697fa34be5c5575e upstream. 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.

checkpatch: improve the unnecessary initialisers tests

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0. There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't mention booleans initialized to false. Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros.

checkpatch: improve tests for fixes:, long lines and stack dumps in commit log

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some false positive warning messages. checkpatch has multiple types of false positives: o Commit message lines > 75 chars o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars. o Fixes: style doesn't require ("") parentheses and double quotes like other uses of git commit ID and description. Fix these. Miscellanea: o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump above the test for a long line commit message o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Stephen Smalley Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add constant comparison on left side test

2015-09-10T20:29:01Z

"CONST variable" checks like: if (NULL != foo) and while (0 < bar(...)) where a constant (or what appears to be a constant like an upper case identifier) is on the left of a comparison are generally preferred to be written using the constant on the right side like: if (foo != NULL) and while (bar(...) > 0) Add a test for this. Add a --fix option too, but only do it when the code is immediately surrounded by parentheses to avoid misfixing things like "(0 < bar() + constant)" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Nicolas Morey Chaisemartin Cc: Viresh Kumar Cc: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: add __pmem to $Sparse annotations

2015-09-10T20:29:01Z

commit 61031952f4c8 ("arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of persistent memory updates") added a new __pmem annotation for sparse verification. Add __pmem to the $Sparse variable so checkpatch can appropriately ignore uses of this attribute too.

checkpatch: fix left brace warning

2015-09-10T20:29:01Z

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the following warning: Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; This patch fixes the warnings by escaping occurrences of the left brace inside the regular expression.

Fixes: and Link: lines may exceed 75 chars in the commit log. So too can stack dump and dmesg lines and lines that seem like filenames. And Fixes: lines don't need to have a "commit" prefix before the commit id. Add exceptions for these types of lines.
