Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3.
The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed,
transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.
While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate
suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs
to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment
requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be
appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP.
For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.
This patch (of 2):
The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed,
transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.
For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.
Tested by verifying program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading.

The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same
name or same address are not handled separately.
For example, running checkpatch on commit be6577af0c ("parisc: Add
atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups"), gives:
WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author
'John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>'
The signoff line was:
"Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>"
Clearly the author has signed off but with a slightly different version
of his name. A more appropriate warning would have been to point out
at the name mismatch instead.
Previously, the values assumed by $authorsignoff were either 0 or 1
to indicate whether a proper sign off by author is present.
Extended the checks to handle four new cases.
$authorsignoff values now denote the following:
0: Missing sign off by patch author.
1: Sign off present and identical.
2: Addresses and names match, but comments differ.
"James Watson(JW) <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
3: Addresses match, but names are different.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James <james@gmail.com>"
4: Names match, but addresses are different.
"James Watson <james@watson.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
5: Names match, addresses excluding subaddress details (RFC 5233) match.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james+a@gmail.com>"
Also introduced a new message type FROM_SIGN_OFF_MISMATCH
for cases 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Checkpatch.pl doesn't have a check for excluding while (...) {...} blocks
from MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE error.
For example, running checkpatch.pl on the file mm/maccess.c in the kernel
generates the following error:
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop(dst, src, len, type, err_label) \
+ while (len >= sizeof(type)) { \
+ __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label); \
+ dst += sizeof(type); \
+ src += sizeof(type); \
+ len -= sizeof(type); \
+ }
The error is misleading for this case. Enclosing it in parentheses
doesn't make any sense.
Checkpatch already has an exception list for such common macro types.
Added a new exception for while (...) {...} style blocks to the same.
In addition, the brace flatten logic was modified by changing the
substitution characters from "1" to "1u". This was done to ensure that
macros in the form "#define foo(bar) while(bar){bar--;}" were also
correctly procecssed.

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split
into multiple lines. The author identity could not be resolved and
checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning.
A typical example is commit e33bcbab16 ("tee: add support for session's
client UUID generation"). When checkpatch was run on this commit, it
displayed:
"WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal
patch author ''"
This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the
author himself wrote in commit cd2614967d ("checkpatch: warn if missing
author Signed-off-by"):
"Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part
is compared."
Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension
lines. RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start
with a WSP character (a space or htab). The solution was therefore to
concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long
header.

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d96
("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly
useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs".
Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid
compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old
uninitialized_var macro behavior.

trace_printk is meant as a debugging tool, and should not be compiled into
production code without specific debug Kconfig options enabled, or source
code changes, as indicated by the warning that shows up on boot if any
trace_printk is called:
** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE **
** **
** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. **

** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is **

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have
used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single
function or value on a single line are detected by this test.
e.g.:
foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */
bar = baz();
Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses.
No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false
negatives are possible.
e.g.:
foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */
bar = baz();

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_
environment variable. Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with
a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does
not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all. Such projects may still want to adhere
to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl.
One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have
configuration options prefixed with CFG_. It also mostly follows the
kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite
valuable.
To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.
