2019-01-04checkpatch: warn on const char foo[] = "bar"; declarationsJoe Perches1-2/+11
These declarations should generally be static const to avoid poor compilation and runtime performance where compilers tend to initialize the const declaration for every call instead of using .rodata for the string.

2018-10-31checkpatch: remove GCC_BINARY_CONSTANT warningChristophe Leroy1-11/+0
This warning was there to avoid the use of 0bxxx values as they are not supported by gcc prior to v4.3 Since cafa0010cd51f ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6"), it's not an issue anymore and using such values can increase readability of code.

2018-09-04checkpatch: add __ro_after_init to known $AttributeJoe Perches1-0/+1
__ro_after_init is a specific __attribute__ that checkpatch does currently not understand. Add it to the known $Attribute types so that code that uses variables declared with __ro_after_init are not thought to be a modifier type. This appears as a defect in checkpatch output of code like: static bool trust_cpu __ro_after_init = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU); [...] if (trust_cpu && arch_init) { where checkpatch reports: ERROR: space prohibited after that '&&' (ctx:WxW) if (trust_cpu && arch_init) { Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0fa8a2cb83ade4c525e18261ecf6cfede3015983.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reported-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Tested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-22checkpatch: DT bindings should be a separate patchRob Herring1-0/+14
Devicetree bindings should be their own patch as documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt section I.1. 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.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix SPDX license check with --root=<path>Joe Perches1-2/+3
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.

2018-08-22checkpatch: fix macro argument reuse testJoe Perches1-0/+1
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 db023296f0115d2fe01fdabad54678f2b806da23 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.

2018-08-22checkpatch: improve runtime execution speed a littleJoe Perches1-33/+33
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: new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m11.856s user 0m11.831s sys 0m0.025s old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m13.330s user 0m13.282s sys 0m0.049s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db21aa9703833bad65ab70cc4e8a78da5b399138.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-22checkpatch: add a --strict test for structs with bool member definitionsJoe Perches1-0/+7
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.

2018-04-11checkpatch: improve get_quoted_string for TRACE_EVENT macrosJoe Perches1-1/+2
The get_quoted_string function does not expect invalid arguments. The $stat test can return non-statements for complicated macros like TRACE_EVENT. Allow the $stat block and test for vsprintf misuses to exceed the actual block length and possibly test invalid lines by validating the arguments of get_quoted_string. Return "" if either get_quoted_string argument is undefined. Miscellanea: o Properly align the comment for the vsprintf extension test Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9e9725342ca3dfc0f5e3e0b8ca3c482b0e5712cc.1520356392.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reported-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-04-11checkpatch: warn for use of %pxTobin C. Harding1-16/+32
Usage of the new %px specifier potentially leaks sensitive information. Printing kernel addresses exposes the kernel layout in memory, this is potentially exploitable. We have tools in the kernel to help us do the right thing. We can have checkpatch warn developers of potential dangers of using %px. Have checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px.

2018-03-26checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'Ulf Magnusson1-1/+5
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 c2264564df3d ("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. Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2018-03-26checkpatch: kconfig: check help texts for menuconfig and choiceUlf Magnusson1-2/+11
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.

2018-03-16arch: remove blackfin portArnd Bergmann1-26/+0
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.
