2013-07-09checkpatch: make the CamelCase cache work for non-git trees tooJoe Perches
Might as well check include timestamps and cache the include file CamelCase uses for the non-git case too. The camelcase cache file is now named: for git: .checkpatch-camelcase.git.<commit_id> for non-git: .checkpatch-camelcase.date.<YYYYMMDDhhmm> All .checkpatch-camelcase* files are deleted if not current.

2013-07-03checkpatch: cache last camelcase hash as .checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>Joe Perches
Add a file to cache the CamelCase variables found by <commit> to reduce the time it takes to scan the include/ directory. Filename is '.checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>' and it is created only only if a .git directory exists. <commit> is determined by the last non-merge commit id in the include/ path. Reduces checkpatch run time by ~12 cpu seconds on my little netbook.

2013-07-03checkpatch: allow longer logging function namesJacob Keller

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>
