checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted
strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted
strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the
string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted
strings split across lines.
Test case:
void context(void)
{
struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = {
{ 42, "these strings"
"do not produce warnings" },
{ 256, "though perhaps"
"they should" },
};
pr_err("this string"
" should produce a warning\n");
pr_err("this multi-line string\n"
"should not produce a warning\n");
asm ("this asm\n\t"
"should not produce a warning");
}
Results of checkpatch on that test case:
WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+ " should produce a warning\n");
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked

Add some more subjective --strict tests.
Add a test for block comments that start with a blank line followed only
by a line with just the comment block initiator. Prefer a blank line
followed by /* comment...
Add a test for unnecessary spaces after a cast.
Add a test for symmetric uses of braces in if/else blocks.
If one branch needs braces, then all branches should use braces.

With any very high precedence operator it is not necessary to enforce
additional parentheses around simple negated expressions. This prevents
us requesting further perentheses around the following:
#define PMEM_IS_FREE(id, index) !(pmem[id].bitmap[index].allocated)
For now add logical and bitwise not and unary minus.

Adjacent strings indicate concatentation, therefore look at identifiers
directly adjacent to literal strings as strings too. This allows us to
better detect the form below and accept it as a simple constant:
#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

Fix checkpatch.pl when both -q and --ignore are given and prevents it from
printing a
NOTE: Ignored message types: blah
messages.
E.g., if I use -q --ignore PREFER_PACKED,PREFER_ALIGNED, i see:
NOTE: Ignored message types: PREFER_ALIGNED PREFER_PACKED
It makes no sense to print this when -q is given.

Argument alignment across multiple lines should match the open
parenthesis.
Logical continuations should be at the end of the previous line, not the
start of a new line.
These are not required by CodingStyle so make the tests active only when
using --strict.
Improved by some examples from Bruce Allen.

three kbuild fixes for 3.3:
- make deb-pkg symlink race fix.
- make coccicheck fix.
- Dropping the check for modutils. This is not a regression, but
allows the module-init-tools replacement kmod work with the 3.3
kernel.
* 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
coccicheck: change handling of C={1,2} when M= is set
builddeb: Don't create files in /tmp with predictable names
kbuild: do not check for ancient modutils tools
The out-of-tree build is broken in 'make deb-pkg'. The
header checks and the header install works on the source and
not on the object tree.
While fixing this also replace the direct 'make' invocations
with the $MAKE variable to be consistent within the script.

The Link to the kernel header files in the debian packages
point to the original build directory. This is a bad choice
if the packages were installed on a different machine. Fix
this in by manually re-creating the link in the builddeb
script.
