checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge 5.10.0" runtime string match. Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce string matching time. This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line counts. An example runtime improvement: new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m11.856s user 0m11.831s sys 0m0.025s old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m13.330s user 0m13.282s sys 0m0.049s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db21aa9703833bad65ab70cc4e8a78da5b399138.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by:

A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized. So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not .c files. There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline functions.

It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable patches. There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch out to the mailing list early. So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly supported. Signed-off-by:

IMO, we should discourage '---help---' for new help texts, even in cases where it would be consistent with other help texts in the file. This will help if we ever want to get rid of '---help---' in the future. Also simplify the code to only check for exactly '---help---'. Since commit c2264564 ("kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig commands"), '---help---' is a proper keyword and can only appear in that form. Prior to that commit, '---help---' working was more of a syntactic quirk. Signed-off-by:

Currently, only Kconfig symbols are checked for a missing or short help text, and are only checked if they are defined with the 'config' keyword. To make the check more general, extend it to also check help texts for choices and for symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword. This increases the accuracy of the check for symbols that would already have been checked as well, since e.g. a 'menuconfig' symbol after a help text will be recognized as ending the preceding symbol/choice definition. To increase the accuracy of the check further, also recognize 'if', 'endif', 'menu', 'endmenu', 'endchoice', and 'source' as ending a symbol/choice definition. Signed-off-by:

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics. $rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.

printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using %lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel. Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address. Signed-off-by:
