2013-09-11checkpatch: add test for positional misuse of section specifiers like __initdataJoe Perches
As discussed recently on the arm [1] and lm-sensors [2] lists, it is possible to use section markers on variables in a way which gcc doesn't understand (or at least not the way the developer intended): static struct __initdata samsung_pll_clock exynos4_plls[nr_plls] = { does NOT put exynos4_plls in the .initdata section. The __initdata marker can be virtually anywhere on the line, EXCEPT right after "struct". The preferred location is before the "=" sign if there is one, or before the trailing ";" otherwise. [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/258149 [2] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2013-August/039836.html So, update checkpatch to find these misuses and report an error when it's immediately after struct or union, and a warning when it's otherwise not immediately before the ; or =.

2013-09-11checkpatch: fix perl version 5.12 and earlier incompatibilityJoe Perches

2013-09-11checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time usedJoe Perches
There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete. Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only comments. This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines. One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could be done multiple times unnecessarily. A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take 1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.

Previous attempt at fixing SPACING errors could make a hash of several defects. This patch should make --fix be a lot better at correcting these defects. Trim left and right sides of these defects appropriately instead of a somewhat random attempt at it. Trim left spaces from any following bit of the modified line when only a single space is required around an operator.

2013-09-11checkpatch: enforce sane perl versionDave Hansen
I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was broken for them. It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly with messages like: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340. The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at _best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be completely broken. If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error messages. This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch will let folks override this if they want.

2013-09-11checkpatch: check CamelCase by word, not by $LvalJoe Perches
$Lval is a test for complete name (ie: foo->bar.Baz[1]) If any of this is CamelCase, then the current test uses the entire $Lval. This isn't optimal because it can emit messages with foo->bar.Baz and bar.Baz when Baz is a variable specified in an include file. So instead, break the $Lval into words and check each word for CamelCase uses.

2013-07-03checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...Joe Perches
When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep. This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there is a CamelCase use found. If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-12-18checkpatch: add support for floating point constantsJoe Perches
Even though the kernel doesn't support using floating point constants, add a regex for them. Support forms like: 0x123p1, 123e-1, 1.23, 1.5e23f Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-12-18checkpatch: find hex constants as a single IDENTJoe Perches
Hexadecimal values are current found in 2 parts. A hex constant like 0x123456abcdef is found as 0 and then x123456abcdef and later coalesced. Instead, reverse the order of the 2 searches in $Constant to find 0x first, then 0 so that the entire hex constant is found all at once.
