  • Usage of these flags has been deprecated for nearly 4 years by:

    commit f77bf01425b11947eeb3b5b54685212c302741b8

    kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y

    Moreover, these flags (at least EXTRA_CFLAGS) have been documented for command
    line use. By default, gmake(1) do not override command line setting, so this is
    likely to result in build failure or unexpected behavior.

    Warn about their introduction in Makefile or Kbuild files.

  • Previous behavior allowed only alphabetic prefixes like pr_info to exceed
    the 80 column line length limit.

    ath6kl wants to add a digit into the prefix, so allow numbers as well as
    digits in the _ printks.

    __ratelimited and __once and WARN_RATELIMIT
    and WARN_ONCE may now exceed 80 cols.

    Add missing _printk type for completeness.

  • Some patches are sent in using ISO-8859 or even Windows codepage 1252.

    message when using --strict.

  • Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that
    checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other
    projects and integrate into scm hook scripts.

    Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option
    --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR,
    WARN and CHK messages with types.

    Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options.
    3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf
    . customized per-tree configurations
    $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist
    ./scripts lk defaults to override script
    The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and
    the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.
    Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment.

    Update "false positive" output for readability.

    Update version to 0.32

  • Signatures have many forms and can sometimes cause problems if not in the
    correct format when using git send-email or quilt.

    Try to verify the signature tags and email addresses to use the generally
    accepted "Signed-off-by: Full Name " form.

  • A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the
    arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better.

    Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of
    min_t or max_t instead.

    Caveat: This only works for min() or max() on a single line.
    It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines.

    This does find:
    min((u32)foo, bar);
    But it does not find:
    max((unsigned long)foo,
    bar);

  • Because the second and third arguments of memset have the same type, it
    turns out to be really easy to mix them up.

    This bug comes up time after time, so checkpatch should really be checking
    for it at patch submission time.

  • If you run checkpatch against multiple patches, and one of them has a
    whitespace issue which can be helped via a script (rpt_cleaners), you will
    see the same NOTE over and over for all subsequent patches. It makes it
    seem like those patches also have whitespace problems when in reality,
    there's only one or two bad apples.

    So reset rpt_cleaners back to 0 after we've issued the note so that it
    only shows up near the patch with the actual problems.

  • 1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
    libc way to indicate failure.
    2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
    comments pretend they do.
    3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
    but users want strtou8()
    4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
    Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
    because conversion should be strict by default.

    The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
    Enter
    kstrtoull()
    kstrtoll()
    kstrtoul()
    kstrtol()
    kstrtouint()
    kstrtoint()

    kstrtou64()
    kstrtos64()
    kstrtou32()
    kstrtos32()
    kstrtou16()
    kstrtos16()
    kstrtou8()
    kstrtos8()

    Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

    strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
    eventually will be removed altogether.

    Use kstrto*() in code today!

    Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
    they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
    because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
    functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
    __alignof__ at least always works.
