Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the
patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a
missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows
checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename
is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message.
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff
through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message,
and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use
case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With
this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input
contains a commit message.
git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to
stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant
solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename
equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The
command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of
"Your patch has style problems."
git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin

The __pmem address space was meant to annotate codepaths that touch
persistent memory and need to coordinate a call to wmb_pmem(). Now that
wmb_pmem() is gone, there is little need to keep this annotation.

It's sometimes useful to scan already committed patches.
Add --git <revision range> to scan specific or multiple commits.
Single commits are scanned with
--git <rev>
Multiple commits are scanned with
--git <range>
--git <commit>-<count>
[joe@perches.com:
o Don't exec git for each <commit>-<count>,
use a single "git log -<count> <commit>"
o Consolidate the git exec for the <range> and <commit>-<count> variants
o Output 12 character commit hash ids
o Don't scan git commit merges
o Use -M to reduce the size of rename commits]

Add a test for use of ACCESS_ONCE that could be written using READ_ONCE or
WRITE_ONCE.
--fix it too if desired.
The WRITE_ONCE fixes are less correct than the coccinelle script below as
checkpatch cannot have a completely correct "expression" mechanism because
checkpatch works on patches and not complete files.
$ cat access_once.cocci

A "." dereference to an all uppercase structure member can be
incorrectly reported as a CONSTANT_COMPARISON.
ie: "if (table[i].PANELID == tempdx)"

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace
warning").
