checkpatch: improve GIT_COMMIT_ID test

2021-09-08T18:50:27Z

The preferred git commit id reference has the form commit ("Title line") where SHA-1 is the commit hex hash with a minimum lenth of 12 and ("Title line") is the complete title line of the commit with a (" prefix and ") suffix. The current tests fail when the "Title line" has one or more embedded double quotes. Improve the test that finds the commit SHA-1 hex hash then ("Title line") by using $balanced_parens for a maximum of 3 consecutive lines.

checkpatch: make email address check case insensitive

2021-09-08T18:50:27Z

Instead of checkpatch requiring the patch author to exactly match the signed-off-by tag, commit 48ca2d8ac8a1 ("checkpatch: add new warnings to author signoff checks.") safely relaxed this requirement. Although the local-part of an email address (local-part@domain), may be case sensitive, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouraged. Mailbox domains follow normal DNS rules and are hence not case sensitive. (Refer to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.4.) Further relax the patch author and signed-off-by tag comparison by making the email address check case insensitive.

Allow prefixing typical strings with L for wide strings and u for unicode strings.

checkpatch: do not complain about positive return values starting with EPOLL

2021-07-01T18:06:06Z

checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions. Example: WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN) + return EPOLLIN; Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than perfect solution. There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.

checkpatch: improve the indented label test

2021-07-01T18:06:06Z

checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon immediately follows an identifier. Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit that may be used to define a bitfield length. Miscellanea: o Improve the initial checkpatch comment o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and' o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit (Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation) o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)' Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/b54d673e7cde7de5de0c9ba4dd57dd0858580ca4.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Manikishan Ghantasala Cc: Alex Elder Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: scripts/spdxcheck.py now requires python3

2021-07-01T18:06:06Z

Since commit d0259c42abff ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py", the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for python3. Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in import git ImportError: No module named git To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute it directly.

checkpatch: exclude four preprocessor sub-expressions from MACRO_ARG_REUSE

2021-05-07T02:24:13Z

__must_be_array, offsetof, sizeof_field and __stringify are all preprocessor macros and do not evaluate their arguments. As such, it is safe not to warn when arguments are being reused in those four sub-expressions. Exclude those so that they can pass checkpatch.

checkpatch: warn when missing newline in return sysfs_emit() formats

return sysfs_emit() uses should include a newline. Suggest adding a newline when one is missing. Add one using --fix too. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/aa1819fa5faf786573df298e5e2e7d357ba7d4ad.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
