The current octal permissions test is very slow.
When patch ("checkpatch: add checks for constant non-octal permissions")
was added, processing time approximately tripled.
Regain almost all of the performance by not looping through all the
possible functions unless the line contains one of the functions.

This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not
warn in a lot more situations.
It seems people agree that:
return (foo || bar);
and
return foo || bar;
are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them.
For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single
function or a ternary.
return (foo);
return (foo(bar));
return (foo ? bar : baz);
The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.
Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and
trailing parentheses.

It's very common to have normal block comments for the initial comments
of a file description preface.
So for files in drivers/net and net/ don't emit a warning when the first
comment block in the file uses the normal block comment style and not
the networking block comment style.

checkpatch could not distinguish between a variable in a struct named
jiffies and the normal jiffies.
foo->jiffies
would emit a "Comparing jiffies" arning.
Update the $Compare variable to do a negative look-behind for "-" when
finding a ">" so that a pointer dereference like -> isn't a comparison.

Emit a warning when using any of these __constant_<foo> forms:
__constant_cpu_to_be[x]
__constant_cpu_to_le[x]
__constant_be[x]_to_cpu
__constant_le[x]_to_cpu
__constant_htons
__constant_ntohs
Using any of these outside of include/uapi/ isn't preferred as using the
function without __constant_ is identical when the argument is a

Since git v1.7.7, the .git directory can be a file when, for example,
the kernel is a submodule of another git super project. So, the check
"-d .git" is not working anymore in this case. Using a more generic
check like "-e .git" corrects this behaviour.

Functions like this one are evil:

Because these functions allow variadic arguments without

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the
references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in
numerous drivers. The idea is to still allow some reference to an
external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the
kernel tree without the COPYING file.
So for example this statement will still return an error:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.
However, this statement will not return an error after this patch:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

The FSF address check is a bit too verbose looking for the GPL text.
Quiet it a bit by requiring --strict for the GPL bit.
Also make the address tests match a few uses of abbreviations for street
names and make it case insensitive.

This SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test is done after CODE_INDENT.

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.
e.g.:
commit 4a2c94c9b6 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")
case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.
If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional. Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"
Add a test to look for missing break statements.
This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.
Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence. The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.
