checkpatch: fix the usage of capture group ( ... )

2020-09-05T19:14:29+00:00

The usage of "capture group (...)" in the immediate condition after `&&`
results in `$1` being uninitialized.  This issues a warning "Use of
uninitialized value $1 in regexp compilation at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
line 2638".

I noticed this bug while running checkpatch on the set of commits from
v5.7 to v5.8-rc1 of the kernel on the commits with a diff content in
their commit message.

This bug was introduced in the script by commit e518e9a59ec3
("checkpatch: emit an error when there's a diff in a changelog").  It
has been in the script since then.

The author intended to store the match made by capture group in variable
`$1`.  This should have contained the name of the file as `[\w/]+`
matched.  However, this couldn't be accomplished due to usage of capture
group and `$1` in the same regular expression.

Fix this by placing the capture group in the condition before `&&`.
Thus, `$1` can be initialized to the text that capture group matches
thereby setting it to the desired and required value.

checkpatch: add test for repeated words

2020-08-12T17:58:00+00:00

Try to avoid adding repeated words either on the same line or consecutive
comment lines in a block

e.g.:

duplicated word in comment block

	/*
	 * this is a comment block where the last word of the previous
	 * previous line is also the first word of the next line
	 */

and simple duplication

	/* test this this again */

checkpatch: fix CONST_STRUCT when const_structs.checkpatch is missing

2020-08-12T17:58:00+00:00

Checkpatch reports warnings when some specific structs are not declared as
const in the code.  The list of structs to consider was initially defined
in the checkpatch.pl script itself, but it was later moved to an external
file (scripts/const_structs.checkpatch), in commit bf1fa1dae68e
("checkpatch: externalize the structs that should be const").  This
introduced two minor issues:

- When file scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is not present (for
  example, if checkpatch is run outside of the kernel directory with the
  "--no-tree" option), a warning is printed to stderr to tell the user
  that "No structs that should be const will be found". This is fair,
  but the warning is printed unconditionally, even if the option
  "--ignore CONST_STRUCT" is passed. In the latter case, we explicitly
  ask checkpatch to skip this check, so no warning should be printed.

- When scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is missing, or even when trying
  to silence the warning by adding an empty file, $const_structs is set
  to "", and the regex used for finding structs that should be const,
  "$line =~ /struct\s+($const_structs)(?!\s*\{)/)", matches all
  structs found in the code, thus reporting a number of false positives.

Let's fix the first item by skipping scripts/const_structs.checkpatch
processing if "CONST_STRUCT" checks are ignored, and the second one by
skipping the test if $const_structs is not defined. Since we modify the
read_words() function a little bit, update the checks for
$typedefsfile/$typeOtherTypedefs as well.

checkpatch: add --fix option for ASSIGN_IN_IF

2020-08-12T17:58:00+00:00

Add a --fix option for 2 types of single-line assignment in if statements

	if ((foo = bar(...)) < BAZ) {
expands to:
	foo = bar(..);
	if (foo < BAZ) {
and
	if ((foo = bar(...)) {
expands to:
	foo = bar(...);
	if (foo) {

if statements with assignments spanning multiple lines are
not converted with the --fix option.

if statements with additional logic are also not converted.

e.g.:	if ((foo = bar(...)) & BAZ == BAZ) {
