The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.
Before this patch, for code like:
if (foo)
bar();
checkpatch would not emit a warning.
Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.
Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

The current test works only for a single patch context as it is done in
the foreach ($rawlines) loop that precedes the loop where the actual
$context_function variable is used.
Move the set of $context_function into the foreach (@lines) loop where
it is useful for each patch context.

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.

But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore

An "uninitialized value" is emitted when a block comment starts on
the same line as a statement.
Fix this and make the test use a little fewer cpu cycles too.

Adding -f to the get_maintainer.pl invocation means git isn't invoked
by get_maintainer.pl for known filenames.
This reduces the overall time to run checkpatch.

< sigh > Comment these tests out.
These are just too enticing to people that don't verify that
both source and dest addresses really must be __aligned(2).
It helps make Dan Carpenter happy too.

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
: permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers.
:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the
: inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic
: names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the
: kernel, not in user space.

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

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.

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.
