* checkpatch.pl: add union and struct to the exceptions listStefani Seibold2010-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a small code snippet, which will be complained about by checkpatch.pl: #define __STRUCT_KFIFO_COMMON(recsize, ptrtype) \ union { \ struct { \ unsigned int in; \ unsigned int out; \ }; \ char rectype[recsize]; \ ptrtype *ptr; \ const ptrtype *ptr_const; \ }; This construct is legal and safe, so checkpatch.pl should accept this. It should be also true for struct defined in a macro. Add the `struct' and `union' keywords to the exceptions list of the checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not possible to build a struct or union with a macro.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | checkpatch falsely complained about '__initconst' because it thought the 'const' needed a space before.

* checkpatch: trivial fix for trailing statements checkHidetoshi Seto2010-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case if the statement and the conditional are in one line, the line appears in the report doubly.

* checkpatch: fix false EXPORT_SYMBOL warningAndy Whitcroft2009-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning, static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key; struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map = STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key); EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this, WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.

* checkpatch: fix __attribute__ matchingAndy Whitcroft2009-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the following code, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the following, union thread_union init_thread_union __attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = { INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) }; However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't correctly evaluate the "__attribute__". It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need to check the __attribute__.

* checkpatch: fix false errors due to macro concatenationAndy Whitcroft2009-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator. For example this line, + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \ is correct but it produces the following error, ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB) + entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\ ^ The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors. Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the definition of an identifier.

* checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patchesWolfram Sang2009-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning. Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's start with a version which catches the cases of real use.
