The current test fails to warn about improper alignment with code like
foo->bar = func(arg1,
arg2);
because foo->bar is not a single identifier.
Convert the $Ident to $Lval which allows for multiple dereferences.

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force
colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format
of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in
common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user
to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when
the output is a terminal. The default is "auto".
The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.
For instance typical use is:
pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);
Which can be written now as:
pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);
'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.
More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and
synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel
facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been
housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less
disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this
disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the
one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other.
This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use
of the expedited RCU primitives.

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.
This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.
This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.

When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some
project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings.
Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and
deal with this issue.
This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull
requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning
we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning
TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We
consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core
implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

- Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to go...
Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated.
- Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly

The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines.
The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches.
Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span
multiple lines.
Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list.
Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO>
permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names.
This can now find and fix permissions uses like:
.mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>;

S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible.
Linus didst say:
: It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the
: symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to
: understand. You really have to think about it.
:
: So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic

:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the

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

It's sometimes useful to scan already committed patches.
Add --git <revision range> to scan specific or multiple commits.
Single commits are scanned with
--git <rev>
Multiple commits are scanned with
--git <range>
--git <commit>-<count>
[joe@perches.com:
o Don't exec git for each <commit>-<count>,
use a single "git log -<count> <commit>"
o Consolidate the git exec for the <range> and <commit>-<count> variants
o Output 12 character commit hash ids
o Don't scan git commit merges
o Use -M to reduce the size of rename commits]

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace
warning").

In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a
member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to
privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses.
Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a
member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on
the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone
wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member,
sparse will yell.
Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE()
are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of
private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it
detect an undersigned public use:
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident>
Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for
"#else" and "#endif".

A simple search over the kernel souce displays a number of correctly
defined multiline macro, which generally are used as an array element
initializer:
% find ../linux -type f | xargs grep -B1 -H '^[:space]*\[.*\\$'
However checkpatch.pl unexpectedly complains about all these macro
definitions:
% ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types COMPLEX_MACRO -f include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define PERF_MAP_ALL_UNSUPPORTED \
+ [0 ... PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX - 1] = HW_OP_UNSUPPORTED
The change intends to fix this type of false positives by flattening
only array members and skipping array element designators.

The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being
reported with hidden flow control.
Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or
##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like
pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement.
Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those
macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.
