2008-10-16checkpatch: allow for comments either side of a brace on caseAndy Whitcroft
When specifying case we may have comments and/or braces at the end without actually having a 'statement'. Allow for these to occur in any order.

2008-10-16checkpatch: suspect indent handle macro continuationAndy Whitcroft
When ignoring a macro in the middle of a conditional, we need to ignore the macro start and any continuation lines. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: trailing statements ensure we report the end of the lineAndy Whitcroft
When reporting some complex trailing statements we report only the starting line of the error, that tends to imply the shown line is in error and confuse the reader. As we do know where the actual error is report that line too with an appropriate gap marker where applicable. #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #1: FILE: Z202.c:1: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); pbh != bh; + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #4: FILE: Z202.c:4: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); [...] + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: DEFINE_ macros are real definitions for exportsAndy Whitcroft
When we want to confirm an export is directly after its definition we need to allow for DEFINE_ style macros. Add these to the execeptions. Refactor the exceptions. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: complex macros checks miss square bracketsAndy Whitcroft
We are missing 'simple' values which include square brackets. Refactor to ensure we handle nesting correctly and detect these simple forms.

2008-10-16checkpatch: suspect code indent must stop at #else/#elifAndy Whitcroft
When we hit and #else or #elif we know we are meeting an alternative piece of code. All bets are off on indent if we did not see the open of the control so stop checking. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: pull out known acceptable typedefsAndy Whitcroft
Within the type checker we have a number of common kernel types which must be implemented as typedefs. Pull those out so that we can use the same expressions to trigger exclusions. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: accept any sized le/be typeAndy Whitcroft
We are likely going to have 24 bit types. Expand the type matcher to match any size. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: macros which define structure members are not complexAndy Whitcroft
We often see macros which define structure members, these are not complex and necessarily do not have braces or brackets. For example: #define _PLIST_HEAD_INIT(head) \ .prio_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).prio_list), \ .node_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).node_list) Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: handle do without braces if we have enough contextAndy Whitcroft
If we have sufficient context detect and handle do without braces ({). Else these incorrectly trigger a trailing statements error for the associated while.

2008-10-16checkpatch: labels are not possible typesAndy Whitcroft
A label is not a candidate for a possible type. Exclude them. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-16checkpatch: do is not a possible typeAndy Whitcroft
A do without braces '{' may trigger a false possible type 'do' and then this may be interpreted as an external definition of foo(): do foo(); while (bar); Add do to the type exclusions. Fix up tests so we can check for them.

2008-10-16checkpatch: ensure we only apply checks to the lines within hunksAndy Whitcroft
We should only apply source checks to lines within hunks. Checks which are anchored in the context may falsly trigger in the commentory. Ensure they only match within valid hunk lines.

2008-10-16checkpatch: check line endings in text format filesAndy Whitcroft
Firmware may be included in the kernel as .ihex files. These are inherantly text, but not source. The line ending checks are applicable to these kinds of file, allow just these checks to apply to all files.

2008-10-16checkpatch: suppress errors triggered by short patchAndy Whitcroft
When the last hunk of a patch is short it will trigger errors from checkpatch: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/bin/checkpatch.pl line 394. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/checkpatch.pl line 397. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) Avoid touching beyond the last line.

2008-10-16checkpatch: suspect indent -- skip over preprocessor, label and blank linesAndy Whitcroft
We should skip over and check the lines which follow preprocessor statements, labels, and blank lines. These all have legitimate reasons to be indented differently.

2008-10-16checkpatch: report the real first line of all suspect indentsAndy Whitcroft
We are currently only reporting syspect indents if the conditional is modified but the indent missmatch could be generated by the body changing, make sure we catch both. Also only report the first line of the body, and more importantly make sure we report the raw copy of the line. Finally report the indent levels to make it easier to understand what is wrong.

2008-10-16checkpatch: report any absolute references to kernel source filesAndy Whitcroft
Absolute references to kernel source files are generally only useful locally to the originator of the patch. Check for any such references and report them.

2008-10-16checkpatch: reduce warnings for #include of asm/foo.h to check from arch/bar.cAndy Whitcroft
It is much more likely that an architecture file will want to directly include asm header files. Reduce this WARNING to a CHECK when the referencing file is in the arch directory.

2008-10-16checkpatch: fix up comment checks search to scan the entire blockAndy Whitcroft
We are not counting the lines in the block correctly which causes the comment scan to stop prematurly and thus miss comments which end at the end of the block. Fix this up.

2008-10-16checkpatch: switch indent allow plain returnAndy Whitcroft
It is a common and sane idiom to allow a single return on the end of a case statement: switch (...) { case foo: return bar; } Add an exception for this.

2008-07-24checkpatch: add checks for question mark and colon spacingAndy Whitcroft
Add checks for the question mark colon operator spacing, and also check the other uses of colon. Colon means a number of things: - it introduces the else part of the ?: operator, - it terminates a goto label, - it terminates the case value, - it separates the identifier from the bit size on bit fields, and - it is used to introduce option types in asm().
