Joe Perches 507e51418c checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" test
Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a
return statement.

This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend
on perl v5.10 and higher.

This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find
like:

ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required
#211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211:
+		return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1);

Kernel maintainers reject new instances of the GPL boilerplate paragraph
directing people to write to the FSF for a copy of the GPL, since the FSF
has moved in the past and may do so again.

Make this an error for new code, but just a --strict CHK in --file mode;
anyone interested in doing tree-wide cleanups of this form can enable this
test explicitly.

Joe Perches c1fd7bb996 checkpatch: make the memory barrier test noisier
Peter Zijlstra prefers that comments be required near uses of memory
barriers.

Change the message level for memory barrier uses from a --strict test only
to a normal WARN so it's always emitted.

This might produce false positives around insertions of memory barriers
when a comment is outside the patch context block.

And checkpatch is still stupid, it only looks for existence of any
comment, not at the comment content.

Joe Perches d8b077101b checkpatch: extend CamelCase types and ignore existing CamelCase uses in a patch
Extend the CamelCase words found to include structure members.

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/3/318 Sarah Sharp (mostly) wrote:

"In general, if checkpatch.pl complains about a variable a patch
introduces that's CamelCase, you should pay attention to it.  Otherwise,
[] ignore it."

So, if checking a patch, scan the original patched file if it's available
and add any preexisting CamelCase types so reuses do not generate
CamelCase messages.

That also means Andrew's not so cruelly spurned anymore.

Joe Perches 8716de383b checkpatch: add test for positional misuse of section specifiers like __initdata
As discussed recently on the arm [1] and lm-sensors [2] lists, it is
possible to use section markers on variables in a way which gcc doesn't
understand (or at least not the way the developer intended):

static struct __initdata samsung_pll_clock exynos4_plls[nr_plls] = {

does NOT put exynos4_plls in the .initdata section.  The __initdata marker
can be virtually anywhere on the line, EXCEPT right after "struct".  The
preferred location is before the "=" sign if there is one, or before the
trailing ";" otherwise.

[1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/258149
[2] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2013-August/039836.html

So, update checkpatch to find these misuses and report an error when it's
immediately after struct or union, and a warning when it's otherwise not
immediately before the ; or =.

A similar patch was suggested by Andi Kleen

Joe Perches 1b5539b1ff checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time used
There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete.
Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines
with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only
comments.

This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the
number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines.

One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a
break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip
interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could
be done multiple times unnecessarily.

A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take
1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.

Dave Hansen d62a201f24 checkpatch: enforce sane perl version
I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was
broken for them.  It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly
with messages like:

	Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340.

The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed
in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/.  Versions of perl this old are at
_best_ quite untested.  At worst, they are crusty and known to be
completely broken.

If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and
give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error
messages.

This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was
end-of-lifed in 2009.  The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch
will let folks override this if they want.

Joe Perches 7e781f67df checkpatch: check CamelCase by word, not by $Lval
$Lval is a test for complete name (ie: foo->bar.Baz[1])

If any of this is CamelCase, then the current test uses the entire $Lval.
This isn't optimal because it can emit messages with foo->bar.Baz and
bar.Baz when Baz is a variable specified in an include file.

So instead, break the $Lval into words and check each word for CamelCase
uses.

Joe Perches 3445686af7 checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...
When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages.
These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these
messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the
include/...  path.

So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/...  and look
for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes.

Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or
file can be ignored.

There are currently ~3500 files in include/.  It takes about 10 cpu
seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses.

That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep.

This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there
is a CamelCase use found.

If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it
uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h"

checkpatch emit a warning for these constants.

Josh Triplett ca56dc098c checkpatch: check for quoted strings broken across lines
checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted
strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted
strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the
string.  Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted
strings split across lines.

Test case:

void context(void)
{
	struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = {
		{ 42, "these strings"
		      "do not produce warnings" },
		{ 256, "though perhaps"
		       "they should" },
	};
	pr_err("this string"
	       " should produce a warning\n");
	pr_err("this multi-line string\n"
	       "should not produce a warning\n");
	asm ("this asm\n\t"
	     "should not produce a warning");
}

Results of checkpatch on that test case:

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+	       " should produce a warning\n");

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked

Andy Whitcroft fd1b57ac73 checkpatch: high precedence operators do not require additional parentheses in #defines
With any very high precedence operator it is not necessary to enforce
additional parentheses around simple negated expressions.  This prevents
us requesting further perentheses around the following:

    #define PMEM_IS_FREE(id, index) !(pmem[id].bitmap[index].allocated)

For now add logical and bitwise not and unary minus.

Fix up type and cast spacing checks such that all occurences on a line are
examined and reported.  For example the line below has a valid cast and a
bad type, but currently we check the cast first which is good and stop:

    u16* bar = (u16 *)baz;

We will also only report one of the errors in this example:

    u16* bar = (u16*)bad;

Move to iterating across all casts and all types, reporting any failure.
