Doing all*config builds attempts to build as much as possible. UBSAN_TRAP effectively short-circuits lib/usban.c, so it should be disabled for COMPILE_TEST so that the lib/ubsan.c code gets built. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201203004437.389959-5-keescook@chromium.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Clean up UBSAN Makefile", v2. This series attempts to address the issues seen with UBSAN's object-size sanitizer causing problems under GCC. In the process, the Kconfig and Makefile are refactored to do all the cc-option calls in the Kconfig. Additionally start to detangle -Wno-maybe-uninitialized, disable UBSAN_TRAP under COMPILE_TEST for wider build coverage, and expand the libusan tests. This patch (of 7): In commit 78a5255f ("Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized") -Wmaybe-uninitialized was disabled globally, so keeping the disabling logic here too doesn't make sense.

None of the relay users require the use of mutable structs for callbacks, however the relay code does. Instead of assigning the default callback for subbuf_start, add a wrapper to conditionally call the client callback if available, and fall back to default behaviour otherwise.

Patch series "relay: cleanup and const callbacks", v2. None of the relay users require the use of mutable structs for callbacks, however the relay code does. Instead of assigning default callbacks when there is none, add callback wrappers to conditionally call the client callbacks if available, and fall back to default behaviour (typically no-op) otherwise. This lets all relay users make their struct rchan_callbacks const data. This series starts with a number of cleanups first based on Christoph's feedback. This patch (of 9): No relay client uses the buf_mapped or buf_unmapped callbacks. Remove them. This makes relay's vm_operations_struct close callback a dummy, remove it as well.

The functions rio_get_asm() and rio_get_device() are globally exported but have almost no users in tree. The only user is rio_init_mports() which invokes it via rio_init(). rio_init() iterates over every registered device and invokes rio_fixup_device(). It looks like a fixup function which should perform a "change" to the device but does nothing. It has been like this since its introduction in commit 394b701c ("[PATCH] RapidIO support: core base") which was merged into v2.6.15-rc1. Remove rio_init() because the performed fixup function (rio_fixup_device()) does nothing. Remove rio_get_asm() and rio_get_device() which have no callers now.

checkpatch reports a false TYPO_SPELLING warning for some words containing an apostrophe when run with --codespell option. A false positive is "doesn't". Occurrence of the word causes checkpatch to emit the following warning: "WARNING: 'doesn'' may be misspelled - perhaps 'doesn't'?" Modify the regex pattern to be more in line with the codespell default word matching regex. This fixes the word capture and avoids the false warning. In addition, highlight the misspelled word location by adding a caret below the word.

Currently checkpatch warns for BAD_SIGN_OFF on non-standard signature styles. A large number of these warnings occur because of typo mistakes in signature tags. An evaluation over v4.13..v5.8 showed that out of 539 warnings due to non-standard signatures, 87 are due to typo mistakes.

Currently checkpatch warns us for long lines in commits even for signature tag lines. Generally these lines exceed the 75-character limit because of: 1) long names and long email address 2) some comments on scoped review and acknowledgement, i.e., for a dedicated pointer on what was reported by the identity in 'Reported-by' 3) some additional comments on CC: stable@vger.org tags Exclude signature tag lines from this class of warning. There were 1896 COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE warnings in v5.6..v5.8 before this patch application and 1879 afterwards. A quick manual check found all the dropped warnings related to signature tags.

checkpatch doesn't report warnings for many common mistakes in emails. Some of which are trailing commas and incorrect use of email comments. At the same time several false positives are reported due to incorrect handling of mail comments. The most common of which is due to the pattern: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # X.X Improve email parsing in checkpatch. Some general email rules are defined: - Multiple name comments should not be allowed. - Comments inside address should not be allowed. - In general comments should be enclosed within parentheses. Relaxation is given to comments beginning with #. - Stable addresses should not begin with a name. - Comments in stable addresses should begin only with a #. Improvements to parsing: - Detect and report unexpected content after email. - Quoted names are excluded from comment parsing. - Trailing dots, commas or quotes in email are removed during formatting. Correspondingly a BAD_SIGN_OFF warning is emitted. - Improperly quoted email like '"name <address>"' are now warned about. In addition, added fixes for all the possible rules.

It is generally preferred that the macros from include/linux/compiler_attributes.h are used, unless there is a reason not to. checkpatch currently checks __attribute__ for each of packed, aligned, section, printf, scanf, and weak. Other declarations in compiler_attributes.h are not handled. Add a generic test to check the presence of such attributes. Some attributes require more specific handling and are kept separate. Also add fixes to the generic attributes check to substitute the correct conversions. New attributes which are now handled are: __always_inline__ __assume_aligned__(a, ## __VA_ARGS__) __cold__ __const__ __copy__(symbol) __designated_init__ __externally_visible__ __gnu_inline__ __malloc__ __mode__(x) __no_caller_saved_registers__ __noclone__ __noinline__ __nonstring__ __noreturn__ __pure__ __unused__ __used__ Declarations which contain multiple attributes like __attribute__((__packed__, __cold__)) are also handled except when proper conversions for one or more attributes of the list cannot be determined.

There are about 100,000 uses of 'static const <type>' but about 400 uses of 'static <type> const' in the kernel where type is not a pointer. The kernel almost always uses "static const" over "const static" as there is a compiler warning for that declaration style. But there is no compiler warning for "static <type> const". So add a checkpatch warning for the atypical declaration uses of. const static <type> <foo> and static <type> const <foo> For example: $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --emacs --quiet --nosummary -types=static_const arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: WARNING: Move const after static - use 'static const u8' #75: FILE: arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: + static u8 const rcon[] = { Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4b863be68e679546b40d50b97a4a806c03056a1c.camel@perches.comSigned-off-by: -

Presence of hexadecimal address or symbol results in false warning message by checkpatch.pl. For example, running checkpatch on commit b8ad540d ("mptcp: fix memory leak in mptcp_subflow_create_socket()") results in warning: WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'ff' 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2f 30 0a 81 88 ff ff ........./0..... Similarly, the presence of list command output in commit results in an unnecessary warning. For example, running checkpatch on commit 899e5ffb ("perf record: Introduce --switch-output-event") gives: WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'root' dr-xr-x---. 12 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:46 .. Here, it reports 'ff' and 'root' to be repeated, but it is in fact part of some address or code, where it has to be repeated. In these cases, the intent of the warning to find stylistic issues in commit messages is not met and the warning is just completely wrong in this case. To avoid these warnings, add an additional regex check for the directory permission pattern and avoid checking the line for this class of warning. Similarly, to avoid hex pattern, check if the word consists of hex symbols and skip this warning if it is not among the common english words formed using hex letters. A quick evaluation on v5.6..v5.8 showed that this fix reduces REPEATED_WORD warnings by the frequency of 1890. A quick manual check found all cases are related to hex output or list command outputs in commit messages. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201024102253.13614-1-yashsri421@gmail.comSigned-off-by:
