Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

With the last commit to support the SuperH boot code files, we have the
following regression:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f <(echo '/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */')
WARNING: 'SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */' is not supported in LICENSES/..
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 1 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
/dev/fd/63 has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
This is not obvious, but spdxcheck.py is launched in checkpatch.pl with :
...
} elsif ($rawline =~ /(SPDX-License-Identifier: .*)/) {
my $spdx_license = $1;
if (!is_SPDX_License_valid($spdx_license)) {
WARN("SPDX_LICENSE_TAG",
"'$spdx_license' is not supported in LICENSES/...\n" . \
$herecurr);
}
...
sub is_SPDX_License_valid {
my ($license) = @_;
...
my $status = `cd "$root_path"; echo "$license" |
python scripts/spdxcheck.py -`;
...
}
The first chars before 'SPDX-License-Identifier:' are ignored.
This commit fixes this regression.
Fixes:959b4968 (scripts/spdxcheck.py: Handle special quotation mark comments)
