When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error:
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
#32: FILE: f.c:8:
+static void a(FILE *const b)
^
Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type. This is useful for
user space patches.
With this patch, we now get:
<E> <E> <_>WS( )
<E> <E> <_>IDENT(static)
<E> <V> <_>WS( )

kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().
There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.
kmap_local_page() is safe from any context and is therefore redundant with
kmap_atomic() with the exception of any pagefault or preemption disable
requirements. However, using kmap_atomic() for these side effects makes
the code less clear. So any requirement for pagefault or preemption
disable should be made explicitly.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored.

The code fragment below
int foo(int *array, int index)
{
return array[index & 0xFF];
}
triggers an incorrect camelcase detection by checking a substring of the
hex constant:
CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <xFF>
#3: FILE: test.c:3:
+ return array[index & 0xFF];
This is caused by passing the whole string "array[index & 0xFF]" to the
inner loop that iterates over a "$Ident" match. The numeric constant is
not a $Ident as it doesn't start with [A-Za-z_] and should be excluded
from the match.
Similar issue can be detected with other constants like "1uL", "0xffffU".
Force the match to start at word boundary so the $Ident will be properly
checked starting from its first char and the constants will be
filtered-out.

Commit 0ee3e7b889 ("checkpatch: get default codespell dictionary path
from package location") introduced the ability to search for the
codespell dictionary rather than hardcoding its path.
codespell requires Python 3.6 or above, but on some systems, the python
executable is a Python 2.7 interpreter. In this case, searching for the
dictionary fails, subsequently making codespell fail:
No codespell typos will be found - file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory
So, use python3 to remove ambiguity.
In addition, when searching for dictionary.txt, do not check if the
codespell executable exists since,
- checkpatch.pl only uses dictionary.txt, not the codespell
executable.
- codespell can be installed via a Python package manager, in which
case the codespell executable may not be present in a typical $PATH,
but a dictionary does exist.

One exceptions to the COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE rule is a file path followed
by ':'. That is typically some sort diagnostic message from a compiler
or a build tool, in which case we don't want to wrap the lines but keep
the message unmodified.
The regular expression used to match this pattern currently doesn't
accept absolute paths or + characters. This can result in false
positives as in the following (out-of-tree) example:
...
/home/jerome/work/optee_repo_qemu/build/../toolchains/aarch32/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: /home/jerome/work/toolchains-gcc10.2/aarch32/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/10.2.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.a(eh_alloc.o): in function `__cxa_allocate_exception':

...
Update the regular expression to match the above paths.

GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the
results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values).
Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values).
Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size
argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication),
it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is
greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This
isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at
run-time (this was an intentional design). To deal with this, we must
disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang
does not have this warning option.)
Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not
sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under
older GCC versions. The attribute itself must be disabled in those
situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the
SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1:
In file included from ./include/linux/resource_ext.h:11,

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Specifically:
'-Wno-alloc-size-larger-than' is not correctly handled by GCC < 9.1
https://godbolt.org/z/hqsfG7q84 (doesn't disable)
https://godbolt.org/z/P9jdrPTYh (doesn't admit to not knowing about option)
https://godbolt.org/z/465TPMWKb (only warns when other warnings appear)
'-Walloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615' is not handled by GCC < 8.2
https://godbolt.org/z/73hh1EPxz (ignores numeric value)
Since anything marked with __alloc_size would also qualify for marking
with __malloc, just include __malloc along with it to avoid redundant
markings. (Suggested by Linus Torvalds.)
Finally, make sure checkpatch.pl doesn't get confused about finding the
__alloc_size attribute on functions. (Thanks to Joe Perches.)

The preferred git commit id reference has the form
commit <SHA-1> ("Title line")
where SHA-1 is the commit hex hash with a minimum lenth of 12 and ("Title
line") is the complete title line of the commit with a (" prefix and ")
suffix.
The current tests fail when the "Title line" has one or more embedded
double quotes.
Improve the test that finds the commit SHA-1 hex hash then ("Title line")
by using $balanced_parens for a maximum of 3 consecutive lines.

Instead of checkpatch requiring the patch author to exactly match the
signed-off-by tag, commit 48ca2d8ac8 ("checkpatch: add new warnings to
author signoff checks.") safely relaxed this requirement.
Although the local-part of an email address (local-part@domain), may be
case sensitive, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts
impedes interoperability and is discouraged. Mailbox domains follow
normal DNS rules and are hence not case sensitive. (Refer to
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.4.)
Further relax the patch author and signed-off-by tag comparison by making
the email address check case insensitive.

checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions.
Example:
WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN)
+ return EPOLLIN;
Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values
of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false
positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return
values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than
perfect solution.
There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to
omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.

checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon
immediately follows an identifier.
Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any
spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit
that may be used to define a bitfield length.
Miscellanea:
o Improve the initial checkpatch comment
o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and'
o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit
(Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation)
o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments
o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)'

explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to
python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py",
the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for
python3.
Traceback (most recent call last):

To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if
the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute
it directly.
