checkpatch: add DT compatible string documentation checks · bff5da43

Rob Herring authored Jan 23, 2014

This adds a simple check that any compatible strings in DeviceTree dts
files are present in Documentation/devicetree/bindings.  Vendor prefixes
are also checked for existing in vendor-prefixes.txt These should be
temporary checks until we have more sophisticated binding schema
checking.

checkpatch: only flag FSF address, not gnu.org URL · 109d8cb2

Alexander Duyck authored Jan 23, 2014

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the
references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in
numerous drivers. The idea is to still allow some reference to an
external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the
kernel tree without the COPYING file.

So for example this statement will still return an error:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

However, this statement will not return an error after this patch:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

checkpatch: update the FSF/GPL address check · 3e2232f2

Joe Perches authored Jan 23, 2014

The FSF address check is a bit too verbose looking for the GPL text.
Quiet it a bit by requiring --strict for the GPL bit.

Also make the address tests match a few uses of abbreviations for street
names and make it case insensitive.

checkpatch: improve space before tab --fix option · c76f4cb3

Joe Perches authored Jan 23, 2014

This test should remove all the spaces before a tab not just one space.

Substitute a tab for each 8 space block before a tab and remove less than
8 spaces before a tab.

This SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test is done after CODE_INDENT.

If there are spaces used at the beginning of a line that should be
converted to tabs, please make sure that the CODE_INDENT test and
conversion is done before this SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test and conversion.

checkpatch: attempt to find missing switch/case break; · c34c09a8

Joe Perches authored Jan 23, 2014

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.

e.g.:
  commit 4a2c94c9 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")

case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.

If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional.  Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"

Add a test to look for missing break statements.

This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.

Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence.  The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.

checkpatch: more comprehensive split strings warning · 8c5fcd24

Joe Perches authored Jan 23, 2014

The current checkpatch test for split strings does not find several
cases that should be found.

For instance:

 		/* Else poor success; go back to mode in "active" table */
 		} else {
 			IWL_DEBUG_RATE(mvm,
-				       "LQ: GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE suc=%d cur-tpt=%d old-tpt=%d\n",
+				       "GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE: SR %d "
+				       "cur-tpt %d old-tpt %d\n",
 				       window->success_ratio,
 				       window->average_tpt,
 				      lq_sta->last_tpt);

does not currently emit a warning.

Improve the test to find these cases.

Add more exceptions to reduce false positives for assembly and octal/hex
string constants.

firmware/dmi_scan: generalize for use by other archs · cf074402

Ard Biesheuvel authored Jan 23, 2014

This patch makes a couple of changes to the SMBIOS/DMI scanning
code so it can be used on other archs (such as ARM and arm64):
(a) wrap the calls to ioremap()/iounmap(), this allows the use of a
    flavor of ioremap() more suitable for random unaligned access;
(b) allow the non-EFI fallback probe into hardcoded physical address
    0xF0000 to be disabled.

test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation · 3e2a4c18

Kees Cook authored Jan 23, 2014

To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.

Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

test: add minimal module for verification testing · 93e9ef83

Kees Cook authored Jan 23, 2014

This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree.  Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.

These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-".  We should likely standardize on the former:

$ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
4
$ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
2

The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface.  It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.

The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g.  like what was recently fixed on ARM).

This patch (of 2):

When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies.  This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.
