699324871f treewide: remove extra semicolons from various parts of the kernel
This is a resend from the original, changing the title from PATCH to
RFC(since this is a review for commit, and I should have put that the first go around).
and also removing some of the commit's with ia64 and bash since it is significant.
let me know if I might have missed anything etc..

6e60c02e9d checkpatch.pl: update $logFunctions
Previous behavior allowed only alphabetic prefixes like pr_info to exceed
the 80 column line length limit.

ath6kl wants to add a digit into the prefix, so allow numbers as well as
digits in the <prefix>_<level> printks.

<prefix>_<level>_ratelimited and <prefix>_<level>_once and WARN_RATELIMIT
and WARN_ONCE may now exceed 80 cols.

Add missing <prefix>_printk type for completeness.

000d1cc182 checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages
Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that
checkpatch produces.  This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other
projects and integrate into scm hook scripts.

Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types.  Add option
--show-types to emit the "type" of each message.  Categorize all ERROR,
WARN and CHK messages with types.

Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options.
3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf
    .             customized per-tree configurations
    $HOME         user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist
    ./scripts     lk defaults to override script
The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and
the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.
Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment.

Update "false positive" output for readability.

Update version to 0.32

7d2367af0b checkpatch: suggest using min_t or max_t
A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the
arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better.

Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of
min_t or max_t instead.

Caveat:  This only works for min() or max() on a single line.
         It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines.

This does find:
	min((u32)foo, bar);
But it does not find:
	max((unsigned long)foo,
	    bar);

b0781216e7 scripts/checkpatch.pl: reset rpt_cleaners warnings
If you run checkpatch against multiple patches, and one of them has a
whitespace issue which can be helped via a script (rpt_cleaners), you will
see the same NOTE over and over for all subsequent patches.  It makes it
seem like those patches also have whitespace problems when in reality,
there's only one or two bad apples.

So reset rpt_cleaners back to 0 after we've issued the note so that it
only shows up near the patch with the actual problems.

33ee3b2e2e kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

6b4c5bebce checkpatch: fix regressions in "fix handling of leading spaces"
The patch "checkpatch: fix handling of leading spaces" added checks for
leading spaces on lines, but this introduces regressions.  Firstly it does
not correctly detect when we are in a comment.  Secondly it does not allow
for preprocessor command spacing.  Finally it does not allow for label
indentation which is required to be less than one tab.  Fix these up:

b998e001e6 checkpatch: fix extraneous EXPORT_SYMBOL* warnings
These are caused by checkpatch incorrectly parsing its internal
representation of a statement block for struct's (or anything else that is
a statement block encapsulated in {}'s that also ends with a ';').  Fix
this by properly parsing a statement block.

An example:

	+struct dummy_type dummy = {
	+	.foo	= "baz",
	+};
	+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);
	+
	+static int dummy_func(void)
	+{
	+	return -EDUMMYCODE;
	+}
	+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy_func);

	WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately \
		follow its function/variable
	#19: FILE: dummy.c:4:
	+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);

The above warning is issued when it should not be.

09ef87255d checkpatch: warn about unexpectedly long msleep's
As explained in Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt, msleep's of < 20ms
may sleep for as long as 20ms.  Caller's of msleep(1) or msleep(2), etc
are likely not to expect this quirky behavior - warn them.

1a15a25086 checkpatch: prefer usleep_range over udelay
When possible, sleeping is (usually) better than delaying; however, don't
bother callers of udelay < 10us, as those cases are generally not worth
the switch to usleep

5150bda43c checkpatch: change externals to globals
Make error message say 'ERROR: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL'
rather than 'ERROR: do not initialise externals to 0 or NULL'.  Makes more
sense in the context since there is an extern keyword in C and that is a
global declaration within the scope of the current file.

5f7ddae610 checkpatch: fix handling of leading spaces
I've got a false positive when spaces are present at the beginning of a
line.

So I add this check, obviously excluding to check the lines in the middle of
comments.

For instance this code passes the checkpatch test:

+struct davinci_mcbsp_data {
+       unsigned int    fmt;
+    int             clk_div;
+};
+
+static struct davinci_mcbsp_data mcbsp_data;

Where, before the string "int             clk_div", I have 4 spaces (\040
ascii character).

With v2.6.34 scripts/checkpatch.pl script I get:

scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 201 lines checked
0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch has no obvious style
problems and is ready for submission.

That is not correct.  Instead with the proposed patch I get:

scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch
WARNING: please, no space for starting a line,
                excluding comments
#63: FILE: sound/soc/davinci/davinci-i2s.c:165:
+    int             clk_div;$

WARNING: please, no space for starting a line,
                excluding comments
#95: FILE: sound/soc/davinci/davinci-i2s.c:406:
+    return 0;$

total: 0 errors, 2 warnings, 201 lines checked

That is correct.

Right now I arbitarily chose 4. The exact value can be debated.

1704f47b50 lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion
The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep
warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks
come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic
mutex debugging coverage.

Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.
