checkpatch: if no filenames then read stdin

2016-08-02T23:35:13Z

If no filenames are given, then read the patch from stdin. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/a8784f291ccb5067361992bf5d41ff6cfb0ce5cb.1469830917.git.allenbh@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe Acked-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: check signoff when reading stdin

2016-08-02T23:35:13Z

Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message. git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl - A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message, and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input contains a commit message. git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl - Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of "Your patch has style problems." git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/48be31e414bddc65bccfa6b1322359be9ba032eb.1469670589.git.allenbh@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe Acked-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: improve 'bare use of' signed/unsigned types warning

Fix false positive warning of identifiers ending in signed with an = assignment of WARNING: Prefer 'signed int' to bare use of 'signed'.

checkpatch: yet another commit id improvement

2016-08-02T23:35:11Z

Using \b isn't good enough to isolate what appears to be a commit id in a commit message. Make sure there is a space or a quote like character after a continuous run of hexadecimal characters that could be a commit id.

checkpatch: allow c99 style // comments

Sanitise the lines that contain c99 comments so that the error doesn't get emitted. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d4d22c34ad7bcc1bceb52f0742f76b7a6d585235.1468368420.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: skip long lines that use an EFI_GUID macro

These are also possible single line uses that exceed the generic maximum line length (typically 80 columns) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/32a6a85fbd6161f1bb55ce176a464e44591afc5b.1468368420.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pmem: kill __pmem address space

2016-07-13T02:25:38Z

The __pmem address space was meant to annotate codepaths that touch persistent memory and need to coordinate a call to wmb_pmem(). Now that wmb_pmem() is gone, there is little need to keep this annotation. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

checkpatch: reduce git commit description style false positives

2016-06-03T23:02:56Z

Some lines in a commit log appear to be commit SHA1 ids like: ERROR: Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("")' - ie: 'commit 0123456789ab ("commit description")' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/40e03fd7aaf1f55c75d787128d6d17c5a71226c2.1464358556.git.vdavydov@virtuozzo.com Reduce the false positives.
