checkpatch: allow reporting C99 style comments

2019-03-08T02:32:01Z

Presently C99 style comments are removed unconditionally before actual patch validity check happens. This is a problem for some third party projects which use checkpatch.pl but do not allow C99 style comments. This patch adds yet another variable, named C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE. If it is included in the --ignore command line or config file options list, C99 comments in the patch are reported as errors. Tested by processing a patch with a C99 style comment, it passes the check just fine unless '--ignore C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE' is present in .checkpatch.conf.

checkpatch: add some new alloc functions to various tests

2019-03-08T02:32:01Z

Many new generic allocation functions like the kvmalloc family have been added recently to the kernel. The allocation functions test now includes: o kvmalloc and variants o kstrdup_const o kmemdup_nul o dma_alloc_coherent o alloc_skb and variants Add a separate $allocFunctions variable to help make the allocation functions test a bit more readable. Miscellanea: o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary OOM message test and add exclude uses with __GFP_NOWARN o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary cast test o Add the kvmalloc family to the preferred sizeof alloc style foo = kvmalloc(sizeof(*foo), ...)

checkpatch: verify SPDX comment style

2019-03-08T02:32:00Z

Using SPDX commenting style // or /* is specified for various file types in Documentation/process/license-rules.rst so add an appropriate test for .[chsS] files because many proposed file additions and patches do not use the correct style.

coding-style: Clarify the expectations around bool

2019-01-21T02:07:39Z

There has been some confusion since checkpatch started warning about bool use in structures, and people have been avoiding using it. Many people feel there is still a legitimate place for bool in structures, so provide some guidance on bool usage derived from the entire thread that spawned the checkpatch warning.

checkpatch: warn on const char foo[] = "bar"; declarations

2019-01-04T21:13:46Z

These declarations should generally be static const to avoid poor compilation and runtime performance where compilers tend to initialize the const declaration for every call instead of using .rodata for the string.

checkpatch.pl: Suggest lockdep instead of asserting !spin_is_locked()

This commit points people who might otherwise code up something like WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked(&mylock)) to lockdep_assert_held(&mylock). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Joe Perches
