In order to support the get-lore-mbox.py tool described in [1], I ran:
git format-patch --base=<commit> --cover-letter <revrange>
... which generated a "base-commit: <commit-hash>" tag at the end of the
cover letter. However, checkpatch.pl generated an error upon encounting
"base-commit:" in the cover letter:
"ERROR: Please use git commit description style..."
... because it found the "commit" keyword, and failed to recognize that
it was part of the "base-commit" phrase, and as such, should not be
subjected to the same commit description style rules.
Update checkpatch.pl to include a special case for "base-commit:" (at the
start of the line, possibly with some leading whitespace) so that that tag
no longer generates a checkpatch error.

About 2% of the last 100K commits have email addresses that include an
RFC2822 compliant comment like:
Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to
the submitted author to determine if the author has signed-off and emits a
warning if the exact email names and addresses do not match.
Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment
like:
Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Add logic to compare the comment stripped email addresses to avoid this
warning.

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.

Make the backtick execution of all `git <foo>` commands set the
LANGUAGE of the process to en_US.utf8 before executing the actual

Because the command is executed in a child process, the parent

The arguments of sizeof are not evaluated so arguments are safe to re-use
in that context. Excluding sizeof subexpressions means macros like
ARRAY_SIZE can pass checkpatch.

The conversion here is really trivial: just a bunch of title
markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to
be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to

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.
Tested by processing a patch with a C99 style comment, it passes the
check just fine unless '--ignore C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE' is present in
.checkpatch.conf.

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.

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.

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 db023296f0
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.

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:

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.
So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly

IMO, we should discourage '---help---' for new help texts, even in cases
where it would be consistent with other help texts in the file. This
will help if we ever want to get rid of '---help---' in the future.
Also simplify the code to only check for exactly '---help---'. Since
commit c2264564df ("kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig
commands"), '---help---' is a proper keyword and can only appear in that
form. Prior to that commit, '---help---' working was more of a syntactic
quirk.

Currently, only Kconfig symbols are checked for a missing or short help
text, and are only checked if they are defined with the 'config'
keyword.
To make the check more general, extend it to also check help texts for
choices and for symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword.
This increases the accuracy of the check for symbols that would already
have been checked as well, since e.g. a 'menuconfig' symbol after a help
text will be recognized as ending the preceding symbol/choice
definition.
To increase the accuracy of the check further, also recognize 'if',
'endif', 'menu', 'endmenu', 'endchoice', and 'source' as ending a
symbol/choice definition.

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

Allow lines with URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction
in adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice.
$ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]'
As per RFC3986 [1], the URL format allows for alphanum, +, - and .
characters in the scheme before the separator :// as long as it starts
with a letter (e.g. https, git, f.-+).
Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false
positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics.
$rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits)
printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets

We deprecated '%pF/%pf' printk specifiers, since '%pS/%ps' is now smart
enough to handle function pointer dereference on platforms where such
dereference is required.

[ paulmck: Skipped checking files and handled whitespace per Joe Perches. ]
printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes
we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using
%lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the
way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through
the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a
clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of
isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel.
Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address.

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING
are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in
list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the
output of --list-types.
Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are
passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too.
So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force

of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in
common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user
to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when
the output is a terminal. The default is "auto".
The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.
For instance typical use is:
pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);
Which can be written now as:
pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);
'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.
More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.
Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and
synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel
facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been
housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less
disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this
disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the
one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other.
This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use
of the expedited RCU primitives.

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.
This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.
This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.
While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).

The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.
Before this patch, for code like:
if (foo)
bar();
checkpatch would not emit a warning.
Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.
Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some
project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings.
Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and
deal with this issue.
This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull
requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning
we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning
TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We
consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core
implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore

Code that puts a single dereferencing identifier on multiple lines like:
struct_identifier->member[index].
member = <foo>;
is generally hard to follow.

The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines.
The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches.
Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span
multiple lines.
Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list.
Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO>
permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names.
This can now find and fix permissions uses like:

Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.
git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace

In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a
member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to
privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses.
Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a
member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on
the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone
wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member,
sparse will yell.
Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE()
are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of
private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it
detect an undersigned public use:
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident>

So add a test that looks for constants that are cast to
standard C90 int or longer types and suggest using C90
"6.4.4.1 Integer constants" integer-suffixes instead.
Miscellanea:
o Add a --fix option too

Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but
it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just
because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from
using it (as happened with other arch stuff before.)
Add a checkpatch test so it will trigger a warning.

Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0.
There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't
mention booleans initialized to false.
Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms
with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros.
Miscellanea:
o Use a variable to hold the possible 0 test

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some
false positive warning messages.
checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:
o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
git commit ID and description.
Fix these.
Miscellanea:
o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump
above the test for a long line commit message
o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets

"CONST <comparison> variable" checks like:
if (NULL != foo)
and
while (0 < bar(...))
where a constant (or what appears to be a constant like an upper case
identifier) is on the left of a comparison are generally preferred to be
written using the constant on the right side like:
if (foo != NULL)
and
while (bar(...) > 0)
Add a test for this.
Add a --fix option too, but only do it when the code is immediately
surrounded by parentheses to avoid misfixing things like "(0 < bar() +
constant)"

commit 61031952f4 ("arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of
persistent memory updates") added a new __pmem annotation for sparse
verification. Add __pmem to the $Sparse variable so checkpatch can
appropriately ignore uses of this attribute too.
