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:

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 current use of /tmp for file lists is insecure. Put them under
$objtree/debian instead.

It turns out that many compilers don't show section warnings on ARM
currently because handling for ARM_CALL relocs are missing from
modpost.c.
Based on commit c2e26114 ([ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when
loading kernel modules) it seems that R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL and
R_ARM_JUMP24 can be handled the same way.
Note that at least Debian libc6-dev is missing defines for both
R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24 in /usr/include/elf.h. So for now
we need to define them in modpost.c if not defined.

Handling of isapnp module aliases was broken by commit
626596e295 by changing "isapnp" string to "isa".
The code was then modified by commit
e49ce14150 but this bug remained.
Change the string back to "isapnp".

We currently include commas on both sides of the feature ID in a
modalias, but this prevents the lowest numbered feature of a CPU from
being matched. Since all feature IDs have the same length, we do not
need to worry about substring matches, so omit commas from the
modalias entirely.
Avoid generating multiple adjacent wildcards when there is no
feature ID to match.
