It's sometimes useful to scan already committed patches.
Add --git <revision range> to scan specific or multiple commits.
Single commits are scanned with
--git <rev>
Multiple commits are scanned with
--git <range>
--git <commit>-<count>
[joe@perches.com:
o Don't exec git for each <commit>-<count>,
use a single "git log -<count> <commit>"
o Consolidate the git exec for the <range> and <commit>-<count> variants
o Output 12 character commit hash ids
o Don't scan git commit merges
o Use -M to reduce the size of rename commits]

...
This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace
warning").

In C programming language, we don't have a easy way to privatize a
member of a structure. However in kernel, sometimes there is a need to
privatize a member in case of potential bugs or misuses.
Fortunately, the noderef attribute of sparse is a way to privatize a
member, as by defining a member as noderef, the address-of operator on
the member will produce a noderef pointer to that member, and if anyone
wants to dereference that kind of pointers to read or modify the member,
sparse will yell.
Based on this, __private modifier and related operation ACCESS_PRIVATE()
are introduced, which could help detect undesigned public uses of
private members of structs. Here is an example of sparse's output if it
detect an undersigned public use:
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: expected struct raw_spinlock [usertype] *lock
| kernel/rcu/tree.c:4453:25: got struct raw_spinlock [noderef] *<noident>
Also, this patch improves compiler.h a little bit by adding comments for
"#else" and "#endif".

A simple search over the kernel souce displays a number of correctly
defined multiline macro, which generally are used as an array element
initializer:
% find ../linux -type f | xargs grep -B1 -H '^[:space]*\[.*\\$'
However checkpatch.pl unexpectedly complains about all these macro
definitions:
% ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types COMPLEX_MACRO -f include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define PERF_MAP_ALL_UNSUPPORTED \
+ [0 ... PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX - 1] = HW_OP_UNSUPPORTED
The change intends to fix this type of false positives by flattening
only array members and skipping array element designators.

The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being
reported with hidden flow control.
Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or
##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like
pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement.
Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those
macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.

So add a test that looks for constants that are cast to
standard C90 int or longer types and suggest using C90

Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but
it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just
because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some
false positive warning messages.
checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:
o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
git commit ID and description.
Fix these.
Miscellanea:
o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump
above the test for a long line commit message
o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets

"CONST <comparison> variable" checks like:
if (NULL != foo)
and
while (0 < bar(...))
where a constant (or what appears to be a constant like an upper case
identifier) is on the left of a comparison are generally preferred to be
written using the constant on the right side like:
if (foo != NULL)
and
while (bar(...) > 0)
Add a test for this.
Add a --fix option too, but only do it when the code is immediately
surrounded by parentheses to avoid misfixing things like "(0 < bar() +
constant)"
