2014-06-04checkpatch: fix wildcard DT compatible string checkingRob Herring
We attempt to search for compatible strings which use a variable token in the documented name such as <chip> or <soc>. While this was attempted to be handled, it's utterly broken. The desired forms of matching are: vendor,<chip>-* vendor,name<part#>-* For <chip>, lower case characters and numbers are permitted. For <part#>, only numeric values are allowed. With this change, the number of missing compatible strings reported in arch/arm/boot/dts is reduced from 1071 to 960.

2014-04-08scripts: objdiff: detect object code changes between two commitsJason Cooper
objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups. For example, when removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging tree. objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that each commit made no changes to the resulting object code. It has the same return values as diff(1). This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish cryto drivers to the staging tree. I needed a programmatic way to confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently change the code. Temporary files (objdump output) are stored in /path/to/linux/.tmp_objdiff 'make mrproper' will remove this directory.

2014-04-07kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERTJosh Triplett
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations. Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig. This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed. However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't typically get build-tested with those disabled. To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED (which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the symbols hidden behind those.

2014-04-03checkpatch.pl: add check for Change-IdChristopher Covington
A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions. These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel. (Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on. Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by. 1. https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg Signed-off-by: Christopher Covington <cov@codeaurora.org> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not warn in a lot more situations.

For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single function or a ternary. return (foo); return (foo(bar)); return (foo ? bar : baz); The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.

2014-04-03genksyms: fix typeof() handlingJan Beulich
Recent increased use of typeof() throughout the tree resulted in a number of symbols (25 in a typical distro config of ours) not getting a proper CRC calculated for them anymore, due to the parser in genksyms not coping with several of these uses (interestingly in the majority of [if not all] cases the problem is due to the use of typeof() in code preceding a certain export, not in the declaration/definition of the exported function/object itself; I wasn't able to find a way to address this more general parser shortcoming). The use of parameter_declaration is a little more relaxed than would be ideal (permitting not just a bare type specification, but also one with identifier), but since the same code is being passed through an actual compiler, there's no apparent risk of allowing through any broken code. Otoh using parameter_declaration instead of the ad hoc "decl_specifier_seq '*'" / "decl_specifier_seq" pair allows all types to be handled rather than just plain ones and pointers to plain ones.

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely: "Updates to devicetree core code. This branch contains the following notable changes: - add reserved memory binding - make struct device_node a kobject and remove legacy /proc/device-tree - ePAPR conformance fixes - update in-kernel DTC copy to version v1.4.0 - preparatory changes for dynamic device tree overlays - minor bug fixes and documentation changes The most significant change in this branch is the conversion of struct device_node to be a kobject that is exposed via sysfs and removal of the old /proc/device-tree code. This simplifies the device tree handling code and tightens up the lifecycle on device tree nodes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin: "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization (LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't remove them. My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not necessarily in this merge window" * 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (25 commits) Kbuild, lto: Handle basic LTO in modpost Kbuild, lto: Disable LTO for asm-offsets.c Kbuild, lto: Add a gcc-ld script to let run gcc as ld Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion macros Kbuild, lto: Drop .number postfixes in modpost Kbuild, lto, workaround: Don't warn for initcall_reference in modpost lto: Disable LTO for sys_ni lto: Handle LTO common symbols in module loader lto, workaround: Add workaround for initcall reordering lto: Make asmlinkage __visible x86, lto: Disable LTO for the x86 VDSO initconst, x86: Fix initconst mistake in ts5500 code initconst: Fix initconst mistake in dcdbas asmlinkage: Make trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller visible asmlinkage, x86: Fix 32bit memcpy for LTO asmlinkage Make __stack_chk_failed and memcmp visible asmlinkage: Mark rwsem functions that can be called from assembler asmlinkage asmlinkage: Make main_extable_sort_needed visible asmlinkage, mutex: Mark __visible asmlinkage: Make trace_hardirq visible ...
