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:
.mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>;

S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible.
Linus didst say:
: It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the
: symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to
: understand. You really have to think about it.
:
: So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic
: permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers.
:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the

: names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the

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
warning").

Improve the test to allow casts to (unsigned) or (signed) to be found

Kernel style prefers "unsigned int <foo>" over "unsigned <foo>" and
"signed int <foo>" over "signed <foo>".
Emit a warning for these simple signed/unsigned <foo> declarations. Fix
it too if desired.

asm volatile and all its variants like __asm__ __volatile__ ("<foo>")
are reported as errors with "Macros with with complex values should be
enclosed in parentheses".
Make an exception for these asm volatile macro definitions by converting
the "asm volatile" to "asm_volatile" so it appears as a single function
call and the error isn't reported.

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>
Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for
"#else" and "#endif".

A simple search over the kernel souce displays a number of correctly
defined multiline macro, which generally are used as an array element
initializer:
% find ../linux -type f | xargs grep -B1 -H '^[:space]*\[.*\\$'
However checkpatch.pl unexpectedly complains about all these macro
definitions:
% ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types COMPLEX_MACRO -f include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define PERF_MAP_ALL_UNSUPPORTED \
+ [0 ... PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX - 1] = HW_OP_UNSUPPORTED
The change intends to fix this type of false positives by flattening
only array members and skipping array element designators.

The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being
reported with hidden flow control.
Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or
##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like
pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement.
Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those
macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.

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
