This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of
note:- checks for documentation for new __setup calls
- clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
- reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
- reports on unwanted externsThis patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.Full changelog:
Andy Whitcroft (19):
Version: 0.07
ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives
add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher
accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;)
report new externs in .c files

else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line
add enums to the type matcher
add missing check descriptions
suppress double reporting of ** spacing
report on do{ spacing issues
include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output
check for spacing after closing braces
prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues
handle blank continuation lines on macros
classify all reports error, warning, or check
revamp hanging { checks and apply in context
no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok

A bug in headers_install for ARCH=x86_64 yields an asm/ directory full of
files all of which are using the same #ifdef guard, "__ASM_STUB_" with no
postfix. So the second and later asm files #included in the same C file
(often through standard headers like ioctl.h) yields no symbols.Strangeness with the Ubuntu 'tell me if I support something that's not
explcitly mentioned in POSIX, and I'll strip it out' shell, I believe.We don't need the 'export' but we do need a semicolon at the end of the

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=srcIt's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
that describes for which ISA a range is used.Silence the warnings by allowing references from .init.text to .cranges.
The following warnings are fixed:

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.Idea from: Andrew Morton

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of
composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it,
prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the
keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along
with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed
last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing
whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov

This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
reference of __init functions are valid too.Signed-off-by: Yasunori Goto

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdfThe Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for

Sample:
config FOO
bool "This is foo"
depends on BARconfig BAR
bool "This is bar"
depends on FOOThis will result in following error message:
error: found recursive dependency: FOO -> BAR -> FOOAnd will then exit with exit code equal 1 so make will stop.

build scripts: fixdep blows segfault on string CONFIG_MODULE seen
The string "CONFIG_MODULE" appearing anywhere in a source file causes
fixdep to segfault. This string appeared in the wild in the current
mISDN sources (I think they meant CONFIG_MODULES). But it shouldn't
segfault (esp as CONFIG_MODULE appeared in a quoted string).Signed-off-by: Andy Green
