Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning,
static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key;
struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map =
STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this,
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its
function/variable
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a
mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.

In the following code,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) =
{ INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) };
There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the
following,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = {
INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task)
};
However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't
correctly evaluate the "__attribute__".
It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style
attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need
to check the __attribute__.

The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking
macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator.
For example this line,
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \
is correct but it produces the following error,
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\
^
The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the
macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors.
Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the
definition of an identifier.

We are allowing context scanning checks to apply against the first line of
context outside at the end of the hunk. This can lead to false matches to
patch names leading to various perl warnings. Correctly stop at the
bottom of the hunk.

Add checks for Blackfin-specific issues that seem to crop up from time to
time. In particular, we have helper macros to break a 32bit address into
the hi/lo parts, and we want to make sure people use the csync/ssync
variant that includes fun anomaly workarounds.

Impact:
- More verbose help/usage message.
- Make the option -f an alias for --file.
- On -h, --help, and --version display help message and exit(0).
- With no FILE(s) given, exit(1) with "no input files".
- On invalid options display help/usage and exit(1).

This fixes the sanitation process in checkpatch.pl so that it blocks out
the text after a C99 style comment the same way it does with block style
comments. This prevents the text from getting processed as regular code.
