If create_dev() function fails to create the root mount device (/dev/root), then it goes to panic as root device not found but there is no printk in this case. So I have added the log in case it fails to create the root device. It will help in debugging. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify printk(), use pr_emerg(), display errno] Signed-off-by:

People often put diff snippets in changelogs. This causes problems when one tries to apply a file containing both the changelog and the diff because patch(1) tries to apply the diff which it found in the changelog. Warn once when what seems to be a diff snippet in the changelog exists. Signed-off-by:

Using "git diff | ./scripts/checkpatch -" does not have an easy mechanism to see the files and lines actually modified. Add --showfile to see the file and line specified in the diff. When --showfile is used without --terse, the second line of each message output is redundant, so it is removed. Signed-off-by:

If there are multiple patches/files on the command line, use a prefix before the patch/file message output like: -------------- patch/filename -------------- to make the identifying which messages go with which file/patch a bit easier to parse. Move the perl version and false positive messages after all the files have been scanned so that they are emitted only once. Standardize the NOTE: <...> form to always emit a blank line before the NOTE and always use print << "EOM" style. Signed-off-by: -

Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length. Some of these are possibly justified by use type. For instance: structure definitions where comments are added per member like: struct foo { type member; /* some long description */ And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style where a string constant is used like: SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string"); Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line --ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings. One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc required single line documentation. The requirement was removed in 2009 so remove that exclusion. Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer. Signed-off-by: -

String detection where a source line with a string constant is converted can either have an X or a space. Some of the string detection regexes do not allow the space character, but there is a handy $String variable that does. Convert the remaining uses of string detection regexes to use the $String variable to reduce possible false negatives. Signed-off-by:

checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover the names of user-defined types and modifiers. It then uses that information when processing expressions to discover potential style issues. Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give different results if you run it on several input files in one execution, or one by one! The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a different file. For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this line (in a macro): size value; and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line: while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit) If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like: ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2 the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator. To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in files at the beginning of each new source file.

Even if gcc were that smart, this construction would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call and then the open-coded loop. Let's simply use strreplace() instead.

Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often '/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a single function call and a single pass over the string. One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call). Signed-off-by:

bitmap_print_to_pagebuf uses scnprintf to copy the cpumask/list to page buffer. It handles the newline and trailing null character explicitly. It's unnecessary and also partially duplicated as scnprintf already adds trailing null character. The newline can be passed through format string to scnprintf. This patch does that simplification. However theoretically there's one behavior difference: when the buffer is too small, the original code would still output '\n' at the end while the new code(with this patch) would just continue to print the formatted string. Since this function is dealing with only page buffers, it's highly unlikely to hit that corner case. This patch will help in auditing the users of bitmap_print_to_pagebuf to verify that the buffer passed is large enough and get rid of it completely by replacing them with direct scnprintf() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment] Signed-off-by:

In case the call side is not providing a swap function, we either use a 32 bit or a generic swap function. When swapping around pointers on 64 bit architectures falling back to use the generic swap function seems like an unnecessary waste. There at least 9 users ('sort' is of difficult to grep for) of sort() and all of them use the sort function without a customized swap function. Furthermore, they are all using pointers to swap around: arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:sanitize_e820_map() arch/x86/mm/extable.c:sort_extable() drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps() fs/btrfs/super.c:btrfs_descending_sort_devices() fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_block.c:xfs_dir2_sf_to_block() kernel/range.c:clean_sort_range() mm/memcontrol.c:__mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:snd_hda_parse_pin_defcfg() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:sort_pins_by_sequence() Obviously, we could improve the swap for other sizes as well but this is overkill at this point. A simple test shows sorting a 400 element array (try to stay in one page) with either with u32_swap() or u64_swap() show that the theory actually works.

bitmap_parselist("", &mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in the mask. The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g. if you boot with "isolcpus=", you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated. The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420 ("bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.
