Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to
read as any flow movement is unexpected.
Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition.
Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros
commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the
function name definition like:
#define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type) \
rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...) \
{ \
rtn_type rtn; \
[code...] \
return rtn; \
}

c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says:
"type specifiers may occur in any order"
That means that:
short int is the same as int short
unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short
etc...
checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types.
For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by
checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int
signed short" variants are found.
Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants.
Add this misordered table to the findable types.
Warn when the misordered style is used.
This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.
These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.
Emit a warning on these types of messages.
This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"
ie: this code matches:
foo = kmalloc();
if (foo == NULL) {
printk("Out of memory\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
This test is very crude and incomplete.
This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.
ie: this code does not match:
foo = kmalloc();
if (!foo) {
rtn = -ENOMEM;
printk("Out of memory!\n");
goto out;
}
This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.

that tool too.

These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel.
(Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given
only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on.
Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to

This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not
warn in a lot more situations.
It seems people agree that:
return (foo || bar);
and
return foo || bar;
are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them.
For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single
function or a ternary.
return (foo);
return (foo(bar));
return (foo ? bar : baz);
The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.
Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and
trailing parentheses.

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the
references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in
numerous drivers. The idea is to still allow some reference to an
external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the
kernel tree without the COPYING file.
So for example this statement will still return an error:

Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.
e.g.:
commit 4a2c94c9b6 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")
case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.
If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional. Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"
Add a test to look for missing break statements.
This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.
Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence. The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.
