Currently checkpatch warns for BAD_SIGN_OFF on non-standard signature styles. A large number of these warnings occur because of typo mistakes in signature tags. An evaluation over v4.13..v5.8 showed that out of 539 warnings due to non-standard signatures, 87 are due to typo mistakes. Following are the standard signature tags which are often incorrectly used, along with their individual counts of incorrect use (over v4.13..v5.8): Reviewed-by: 42 Signed-off-by: 25 Reported-by: 6 Acked-by: 4 Tested-by: 4 Suggested-by: 4 Provide a fix by calculating levenshtein distance for the signature tag with all the standard signatures and suggest a fix with a signature, whose edit distance is less than or equal to 2 with the misspelled signature. Out of the 86 mispelled signatures fixed with this approach, 85 were found to be good corrections and 1 was bad correction. Following was found to be a bad correction: Tweeted-by (count: 1) => Tested-by Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201128204333.7054-1-yashsri421@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Aditya Srivastava <yashsri421@gmail.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
