Fix Lindent to not indent preprocessor comments so far

2007-07-20T15:45:38Z

I recently ran Lindent over the AdvanSys driver and it moved the comments on #else and #endif lines way over to the right: #else /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */ This doesn't match what I expect from kernel style, but it is documented. We just need another flag to indent to make this look like: #else /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */ Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.08

2007-07-19T17:04:47Z

This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug fixes. Of note: - warnings for multiple assignments per line - warnings for multiple declarations per line - checks for single statement blocks with braces This patch includes an update for feature-removal-schedule.txt to better target checks. Andy Whitcroft (12): Version: 0.08 only apply printk checks where there is a string literal allow suppression of errors for when no patch is found warn about multiple assignments warn on declaration of multiple variables check for kfree() with needless null check check for single statement braced blocks check for aggregate initialisation on the next line handle the => operator check for spaces between function name and open parenthesis move to explicit Check: entries in feature-removal-schedule.txt handle pointer attributes Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output

2007-07-19T17:04:45Z

If a parameter description begins with a '.', this indicates a "request" for "man" mode output (*roff), so it needs special handling. Problem case is in include/asm-i386/atomic.h for function atomic_add_unless(): * @u: ...unless v is equal to u. This parameter description is currently not printed in man mode output.

kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'

2007-07-17T17:23:03Z

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Paulo Marques Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kallsyms: remove usage of memmem and _GNU_SOURCE from scripts/kallsyms.c

2007-07-17T12:36:08Z

The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens. This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU extension available. Signed-off-by: Paulo Marques Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: reset generated values only if Kconfig and .config agree.

2007-07-17T12:24:55Z

Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't used anymore). The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you noticed. The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.
