checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates
the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge
5.10.0" runtime string match.
Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce
string matching time.
This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line
counts.
An example runtime improvement:
new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null
real 0m11.856s
user 0m11.831s
sys 0m0.025s
old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null
real 0m13.330s
user 0m13.282s
sys 0m0.049s

A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various
architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized.
So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not
.c files.
There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive
when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files
where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline
functions.

Multiline statements with invalid %p<foo> uses produce multiple
warnings. Fix that.
e.g.:
$ cat t_block.c
void foo(void)
{
MY_DEBUG(drv->foo,
"%pk",
foo->boo);
}
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f t_block.c

It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the
stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable
patches.
There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list
address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the
stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch
out to the mailing list early.
So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly
supported.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- improve fixdep to coalesce consecutive slashes in dep-files
- fix some issues of the maintainer string generation in deb-pkg script
- remove unused CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX and clean-up
several tools and linker scripts
- clean-up modpost
- allow to enable the dead code/data elimination for PowerPC in EXPERT
mode
- improve two coccinelle scripts for better performance
- pass endianness and machine size flags to sparse for all architecture
- misc fixes
* tag 'kbuild-v4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (25 commits)
kbuild: add machine size to CHECKFLAGS
kbuild: add endianness flag to CHEKCFLAGS
kbuild: $(CHECK) doesnt need NOSTDINC_FLAGS twice
scripts: Fixed printf format mismatch
scripts/tags.sh: use `find` for $ALLSOURCE_ARCHS generation
coccinelle: deref_null: improve performance
coccinelle: mini_lock: improve performance
powerpc: Allow LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be selected
kbuild: Allow LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be selectable if enabled
kbuild: LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION no -ffunction-sections/-fdata-sections for module build
kbuild: Fix asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h for LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
modpost: constify *modname function argument where possible
modpost: remove redundant is_vmlinux() test
modpost: use strstarts() helper more widely
modpost: pass struct elf_info pointer to get_modinfo()

Kernel style seems to prefer line wrapping an assignment with the
assignment operator on the previous line like:
<leading tabs> identifier =
expression;
over
<leading tabs> identifier
= expression;
somewhere around a 50:1 ratio
$ git grep -P "[^=]=\s*$" -- "*.[ch]" | wc -l
52008
$ git grep -P "^\s+[\*\/\+\|\%\-]?=[^=>]" | wc -l
1161
So add a --strict test for that condition.

The get_quoted_string function does not expect invalid arguments.
The $stat test can return non-statements for complicated macros like
TRACE_EVENT.
Allow the $stat block and test for vsprintf misuses to exceed the actual
block length and possibly test invalid lines by validating the arguments
of get_quoted_string.
Return "" if either get_quoted_string argument is undefined.
Miscellanea:
o Properly align the comment for the vsprintf extension test

Usage of the new %px specifier potentially leaks sensitive information.
Printing kernel addresses exposes the kernel layout in memory, this is
potentially exploitable. We have tools in the kernel to help us do the
right thing. We can have checkpatch warn developers of potential
dangers of using %px.
Have checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px.
