People often put diff snippets in changelogs. This causes problems
when one tries to apply a file containing both the changelog and the
diff because patch(1) tries to apply the diff which it found in the
changelog.
Warn once when what seems to be a diff snippet in the changelog exists.

Using "git diff | ./scripts/checkpatch -" does not have an
easy mechanism to see the files and lines actually modified.
Add --showfile to see the file and line specified in the diff.
When --showfile is used without --terse, the second line of each

Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length. Some of these
are possibly justified by use type.
For instance:
structure definitions where comments are added per member like:
struct foo {
type member; /* some long description */
And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style
where a string constant is used like:
SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string");
Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line
--ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings.
One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument
documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc
required single line documentation. The requirement was removed in 2009
so remove that exclusion.
Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer.

String detection where a source line with a string constant is converted
can either have an X or a space.
Some of the string detection regexes do not allow the space character, but
there is a handy $String variable that does.
Convert the remaining uses of string detection regexes to use the $String
variable to reduce possible false negatives.

checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover
the names of user-defined types and modifiers. It then uses that
information when processing expressions to discover potential style
issues.
Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give
different results if you run it on several input files in one execution,
or one by one!
The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a
type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a
different file.
For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this
line (in a macro):
size value;
and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line:
while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit)
If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2
the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag
the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator.
To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays
from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in
files at the beginning of each new source file.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.
The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).
The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)
- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:
[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------
This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.
- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)
* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)
- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.
- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"

x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts

Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in
reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the
variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask
which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c.
Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is:
static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp)
however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does
constant propagation optimization.
Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn
when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry
size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong. We want to check
we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size,
but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones.
This fixes the problem by moving that check in the caller (since we can
deal with different types of relocations) and add is_second_extable_reloc()
to make the whole thing more readable.

As Guenter pointed out, we want to assert that extable_entry_size has been
discovered and not the other way around. Moreover, this sanity check is
only valid when we're not dealing with the first relocation in __ex_table,
since we have not discovered the extable entry size at that point.
This was leading to a divide-by-zero on some architectures and make the
build fail.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the main pull request for MIPS for Linux 4.1. Most
noteworthy:
- Add more Octeon-optimized crypto functions
- Octeon crypto preemption and locking fixes
- Little endian support for Octeon
- Use correct CSR to soft reset Octeons
- Support LEDs on the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
- Fix PCI interrupt mapping for the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
- Mark prom_free_prom_memory() as __init for a number of systems
- Support for Imagination's Pistachio SOC. This includes arch and
CLK bits. I'd like to merge pinctrl bits later
- Improve parallelism of csum_partial for certain pipelines
- Organize DTB files in subdirs like other architectures
- Implement read_sched_clock for all MIPS platforms other than
Octeon
- Massive series of 38 fixes and cleanups for the FPU emulator /
kernel
- Further FPU remulator work to support new features. This sits on a
separate branch which also has been pulled into the 4.1 KVM branch
- Clean up and fixes for the SEAD3 eval board; remove unused file
- Various updates for Netlogic platforms
- A number of small updates for Loongson 3 platforms
- Increase the memory limit for ATH79 platforms to 256MB
- A fair number of fixes and updates for BCM47xx platforms
- Finish the implementation of XPA support
- MIPS FDC support. No, not floppy controller but Fast Debug Channel :)
- Detect the R16000 used in SGI legacy platforms
- Fix Kconfig dependencies for the SSB bus support"

Since commit 1f65f947a6a8 ("checkpatch: add checks for question mark and
colon spacing") back in 2008, checkpatch has reported false positive for
asm volatile uses of "::" checkpatch thinks colons should always have
spaces around it.
Add an exception for colons with colons on either side for this valid asm
volatile (and c++) use.

If a patch touches multiple files, the --fix and --fix-inplace option
doesn't keep the proper line count and makes the new patch file not able
to be applied via bad offset line numbers when lines are added or deleted
by the --fix option.
Dunno how that extra backslash snuck in there.

ENOSYS means that a nonexistent system call was called. We have a
bad habit of using it for things like invalid operations on
otherwise valid syscalls. We should avoid this in new code.
Pervasive incorrect usage of ENOSYS came up at the kernel summit ABI
review discussion. Let's see if checkpatch can help.
I'll submit a separate patch for include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h.

const objects shouldn't be __read_mostly. They are read-only.
Marking these objects as __read_mostly causes section conflicts with LTO
linking.
So add a test to try to avoid this issue.

Code such as:
x = timercmp(&now, &end, <);
Will currently trigger a checkpatch error. e.g.
ERROR: spaces required around that '<'
This is because the "Ignore operators passed as parameters" check looks
only for a comma following the operator. Improve the check by also
looking for a close parenthesis.

Commit messages lines are sometimes overly long.
Suggest line wrapping at 75 columns so the default git commit log
indentation of 4 plus the commit message text still fits on an 80 column
screen.
Add a checkpatch test for long commit messages lines too.
