2f07b65238 checkpatch: always parse orig_commit in fixes tag
Do not require the presence of `$balanced_parens` to get the commit SHA;
this allows a `Fixes: deadbeef` tag to get a correct suggestion rather
than a suggestion containing a reference to HEAD.

Given this patch:

: From: Tamir Duberstein <tamird@gmail.com>
: Subject: Test patch
: Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 19:30:51 -0400
: 
: This is a test patch.

: +Test.


Before:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12 chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'Fixes: c10a7d25e68f ("Test patch")'

After:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12 chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'Fixes: bd17e036b4 ("checkpatch: warn for non-standard fixes tag style")'



The prior behavior incorrectly suggested the patch's own SHA and title
line rather than the referenced commit's.  This fixes that.

Ironically this:

82b8000c28 net: drop special comment style
As we discussed in the room at netdevconf earlier this week,
drop the requirement for special comment style for netdev.

For checkpatch, the general check accepts both right now, so
simply drop the special request there as well.

d5d6281ae8 checkpatch: check for missing Fixes tags
This check looks for common words that probably indicate a patch
is a fix.  For now the regex is:

	(?:(?:BUG: K.|UB)SAN: |Call Trace:|stable\@|syzkaller)/)

Why are stable patches encouraged to have a fixes tag?  Some people mark
their stable patches as "# 5.10" etc.  This is useful but a Fixes tag is
still a good idea.  For example, the Fixes tag helps in review.  It
helps people to not cherry-pick buggy patches without also
cherry-picking the fix.

Also if a bug affects the 5.7 kernel some people will round it up to
5.10+ because 5.7 is not supported on kernel.org.  It's possible the Bad
Binder bug was caused by this sort of gap where companies outside of
kernel.org are supporting different kernels from kernel.org.

Should it be counted as a Fix when a patch just silences harmless
WARN_ON() stack trace.  Yes.  Definitely.

Is silencing compiler warnings a fix?  It seems unfair to the original
authors, but we use -Werror now, and warnings break the build so let's
just add Fixes tags.  I tell people that silencing static checker
warnings is not a fix but the rules on this vary by subsystem.

Is fixing a minor LTP issue (Linux Test Project) a fix?  Probably?  It's
hard to know what to do if the LTP test has technically always been
broken.

One clear false positive from this check is when someone updated their
debug output and included before and after Call Traces.  Or when crashes
are introduced deliberately for testing.  In those cases, you should
just ignore checkpatch.

d6bb39519a checkpatch: really skip LONG_LINE_* when LONG_LINE is ignored
For a printout to happen, all types must be set to "show".  So, AND is
needed for the flags, not OR, if we want to ignore something.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core & protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

   - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
     netlink attribute

   - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

9b5f621cea checkpatch: add ethtool_sprintf rules
Add some warnings for using ethtool_sprintf() where a simple
ethtool_puts() would suffice.

The two cases are:

1) Use ethtool_sprintf() with just two arguments:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, driver[i].name);
or
2) Use ethtool_sprintf() with a standalone "%s" fmt string:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", driver[i].name);

The former may cause -Wformat-security warnings while the latter is just
not preferred. Both are safely in the category of warnings, not errors.

ff18cb8164 Revert "checkpatch: Error out if deprecated RCU API used"
The definition for single-argument kfree_rcu() has been removed,
so that any further attempt to use it will result in a build error.
Because of this build error, there is no longer any need for a special
check in checkpatch.pl.

Therefore, revert commit 1eacac3255.

5b2c73341a checkpatch: special case extern struct in .c
"externs should be avoided in .c files" needs an exception for linker
symbols, like those that mark the start, stop of many kernel sections.

Since checkpatch already checks REALNAME to avoid looking at fragments
changing vmlinux.lds.h, add a new else-if block to look at them
instead.  As a simple heuristic, treat all words (in the patch-line)
as possible symbols, to screen later warnings.

For my test case, the possible-symbols included BOUNDED_BY (a macro),
which is extra, but not troublesome - these are just to screen
WARNINGS that might be issued on later fragments (changing .c files)

Where the WARN is issued, precede it with an else-if block to catch
one common extern-in-c use case: "extern struct foo bar[]".  Here we
can at least issue a softer warning, after checking for a match with a
maybe-linker-symbol parsed earlier from the patch.

Though heuristic, it worked for my test-case, allowing both start__,
stop__ $symbol's (wo the prefixes specifically named).  I've coded it
narrowly, it can be expanded later to cover any other expressions.

It does require that the externs in .c's have the additions to
vmlinux.lds.h in the same patch.  And requires vmlinux.lds.h before .c
fragments.

84dd7f19e7 checkpatch: Complain about unexpected uses of RCU Tasks Trace
RCU Tasks Trace is quite specialized, having been created specifically
for sleepable BPF programs.  Because it allows general blocking within
readers, any new use of RCU Tasks Trace must take current use cases into
account.  Therefore, update checkpatch.pl to complain about use of any of
the RCU Tasks Trace API members outside of BPF and outside of RCU itself.

a04bb4c24a checkpatch: introduce proper bindings license check
All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch
together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of the
whole DT bindings system.

The requirement is dual licensed and matching patterns:
* Schemas:
    /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR BSD-2-Clause/
* Headers:
    /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR \S+/

Above patterns suggested by Rob at:

d6ccdd678e checkpatch: check for misuse of the link tags
"Link:" and "Closes:" tags have to be used with public URLs.

It is difficult to make sure the link is public but at least we can verify
the tag is followed by 'http(s)://'.

With that, we avoid such a tag that is not allowed [1]:

  Closes: <number>

Now that we check the "link" tags are followed by a URL, we can relax the
check linked to "Reported-by being followed by a link tag" to only verify
if a "link" tag is present after the "Reported-by" one.
