2019-12-04checkpatch: reduce is_maintained_obsolete lookup runtimeJoe Perches1-2/+6
The is_maintained_obsolete function can be called twice using the same filename. This function spawns a process using get_maintainer.pl. Store the status of each filename when spawned and use the stored result to eliminate the spawning of unnecessary duplicate child processes.

2019-10-11lib/vsprintf: Add %pfw conversion specifier for printing fwnode namesSakari Ailus1-2/+6
Add support for %pfw conversion specifier (with "f" and "P" modifiers) to support printing full path of the node, including its name ("f") and only the node's name ("P") in the printk family of functions. The two flags have equivalent functionality to existing %pOF with the same two modifiers ("f" and "P") on OF based systems. The ability to do the same on ACPI based systems is added by this patch. On ACPI based systems the resulting strings look like \_SB.PCI0.CIO2.port@1.endpoint@0 where the nodes are separated by a dot (".") and the first three are ACPI device nodes and the latter two ACPI data nodes.

2019-09-25checkpatch: make git output use LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8Joe Perches1-4/+6
git output parsing depends on the language being en_US english. Make the backtick execution of all `git <foo>` commands set the LANGUAGE of the process to en_US.utf8 before executing the actual command using `export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8; git <foo>`. Because the command is executed in a child process, the parent LANGUAGE is unchanged.

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.

__ro_after_init is a specific __attribute__ that checkpatch does currently not understand. Add it to the known $Attribute types so that code that uses variables declared with __ro_after_init are not thought to be a modifier type. This appears as a defect in checkpatch output of code like: static bool trust_cpu __ro_after_init = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU); [...] if (trust_cpu && arch_init) { where checkpatch reports: ERROR: space prohibited after that '&&' (ctx:WxW) if (trust_cpu && arch_init) { Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0fa8a2cb83ade4c525e18261ecf6cfede3015983.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reported-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Tested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-22checkpatch: DT bindings should be a separate patchRob Herring1-0/+14
Devicetree bindings should be their own patch as documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt section I.1. This is because bindings are logically independent from a driver implementation, they have a different maintainer (even though they often are applied via the same tree), and it makes for a cleaner history in the DT only tree created with git-filter-branch.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix SPDX license check with --root=<path>Joe Perches1-2/+3
checkpatch uses the in-kernel script spdxcheck.py to validate the specific license in a file or script. This check can currently fail for a couple reasons: o spdxcheck.py assumes the existence of git tree that may not exist for a bare source tree from something like a tarball o the spdxcheck.py must be run from the top level root directory So add a git existence test and set the subprocess subdirectory.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix macro argument reuse testJoe Perches1-0/+1
Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests. This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch. For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message) $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0115d2fe01fdabad54678f2b806da23 Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted> And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name. Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of arguments.

2018-08-22checkpatch: improve runtime execution speed a littleJoe Perches1-33/+33
checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge 5.10.0" runtime string match. Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce string matching time. This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line counts. An example runtime improvement: new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m11.856s user 0m11.831s sys 0m0.025s old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m13.330s user 0m13.282s sys 0m0.049s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db21aa9703833bad65ab70cc4e8a78da5b399138.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-22checkpatch: add a --strict test for structs with bool member definitionsJoe Perches1-0/+7
A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized. So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not .c files. There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline functions.

It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable patches. There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch out to the mailing list early.
