If a file exists in git and checkpatch is used without the -f flag for scanning a file, then checkpatch will scan the file assuming it's a patch and emit: ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch Change the behavior to assume the -f flag if the file exists in git.

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d ("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs". Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old uninitialized_var macro behavior.

trace_printk is meant as a debugging tool, and should not be compiled into production code without specific debug Kconfig options enabled, or source code changes, as indicated by the warning that shows up on boot if any trace_printk is called: ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ** ** ** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. ** ** ** ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is ** ** unsafe for production use. ** Let's warn developers when they try to submit such a change. Signed-off-by:

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single function or value on a single line are detected by this test. e.g.: foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */ bar = baz(); Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses. No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false negatives are possible. e.g.: foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */ bar = baz(); Signed-off-by:

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_ environment variable. Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all. Such projects may still want to adhere to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl. One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have configuration options prefixed with CFG_. It also mostly follows the kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite valuable. To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.

Whether crc32_be needs a lookup table is chosen based on CRC_LE_BITS. Obviously, the _be function should be governed by the _BE_ define. This probably never pops up as it's hard to come up with a configuration where CRC_BE_BITS isn't the same as CRC_LE_BITS and as nobody is using bitwise CRC anyway.

Add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head of the list which is useful in cases like: list_for_each_entry(pos, &head, member) { if (cond) break; } if (list_entry_is_head(pos, &head, member)) return -ERRNO; that allows to avoid additional variable to be added to track if loop has not been stopped in the middle. While here, convert list_for_each_entry*() family of macros to use a new one. Signed-off-by:Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

The documentation for these functions indicates that callers don't need to hold a lock while calling them, but that documentation is only in one place under "IDA Usage". Let's state the same information on each IDA function so that it's clear what the calling context requires. Furthermore, let's document ida_simple_get() with the same information so that callers know how this API works. Signed-off-by:

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max() et al. helpers. At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for other existing users.
