update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16
This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c. Of note: - all new quote tracking across lines - all new comment tracking - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto* - report on direct use of NR_CPUS Andy Whitcroft (22): Version: 0.16 string quote tracking should cross line boundaries check spacing round -> correctly across newlines checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited' take the first end of condition when parsing statements values: cope with unbalanced brackets preprocessor #elif is not a function preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks test: allow us to limit output to a single error recommend real mutexes over semaphores asm checks should mirror those for __asm__ warn on semaphores being used in place of completions trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while (); recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX redo comment handling as a quote type use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong consistant spacing should only be about spaces if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels use tr/// to align spacing for operators move to using four parameter form of substr check and report modifications to include/asm Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
