2012-01-10checkpatch: update signature "might be better as" warningJoe Perches
email header lines can look like signature tags. It's valid to have multiple email recipients on a single line but not valid to have multiple signatures on a single line. Validate signatures only when not in the email headers. Clear the $in_commit_log flag when the patch filename appears. Add '-' to the valid chars in a message header for headers like "Message-Id:" and "In-Reply-To:".

2011-10-31checkpatch: add a --strict check for utf-8 in commit logsJoe Perches
Some find using utf-8 in commit logs inappropriate. Some patch commit logs contain unintended utf-8 characters when doing things like copy/pasting compilation output. Look for the start of any commit log by skipping initial lines that look like email headers and "From: " lines. Stop looking for utf-8 at the first signature line.

2011-07-25checkpatch: suggest using min_t or max_tJoe Perches
A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better. Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of min_t or max_t instead. Caveat: This only works for min() or max() on a single line. It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines. This does find: min((u32)foo, bar); But it does not find: max((unsigned long)foo, bar); Suggested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If you run checkpatch against multiple patches, and one of them has a whitespace issue which can be helped via a script (rpt_cleaners), you will see the same NOTE over and over for all subsequent patches. It makes it seem like those patches also have whitespace problems when in reality, there's only one or two bad apples. So reset rpt_cleaners back to 0 after we've issued the note so that it only shows up near the patch with the actual problems.

2011-03-22kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.
