  • 6e9766317   Documentation/sparse.txt: document context annotations for lock checking ... Browse Code »

    The context feature of sparse is used with the Linux kernel sources to
    check for imbalanced uses of locks. Document the annotations defined in
    include/linux/compiler.h that tell sparse what to expect when a lock is
    held on function entry, exit, or both.

  • a887a07d5   kbuild: sparse needs CF not CHECKFLAGS ... Browse Code »

    Documentation/sparse.txt tells to use:

    make C=2 CHECKFLAGS="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"

    However, this still doesn't enable endian checks. The correct syntax is:

    make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"

    This documentation bug was introduced by the following commit:

    kbuild: clarify "make C=" build option

    Clarify the use of "make C=" in the top-level Makefile, and fix a
    typo in the Documentation file.

    This `typo' was not a typo, as `CF' had been introduced much earlier, by:

    commit 7b49bb9aff8b14d15da58111d8908c877c0a525e

    [PATCH] kbuild: CF= passes arguments to sparse

    Allows to add to sparse arguments without mutilating makefiles - just
    pass CF= and they will be added to CHECKFLAGS.
