A recent addition to the DRM tree for 4.7 added 'extern "C"' guards
for c++ to all the DRM headers, and that now causes warnings
in 'make headers_check':
usr/include/drm/amdgpu_drm.h:38: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/drm.h:63: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/drm.h:699: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/drm_fourcc.h:30: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/drm_mode.h:33: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/drm_sarea.h:38: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/exynos_drm.h:21: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
usr/include/drm/i810_drm.h:7: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
This changes the headers_check.pl script to not warn about this.
I'm listing the merge commit as introducing the problem, because
there are several patches in this branch that each do this for
one file.

"make headers_check" warns about soundcard.h for (at least) five years
now:
[...]/usr/include/linux/soundcard.h:1054: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
We're apparently stuck with providing OSSlib-3.8 compatibility, so let's
special case this declaration just to silence it.
Notes:
0) Support for OSSlib post 3.8 was already removed in commit 43a990765a
("sound: Remove OSSlib stuff from linux/soundcard.h"). Five years have
passed since that commit: do people still care about OSSlib-3.8? If
not, quite a bit of code could be remove from soundcard.h (and probably
ultrasound.h).
2) By the way, what is actually meant by:
It is no longer possible to actually link against OSSlib with this
header, but we still provide these macros for programs using them.
Doesn't that mean compatibility to OSSlib isn't even useful?
3) Anyhow, a previous discussion soundcard.h, which led to that commit,
starts at https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/20/349 .
4) And, yes, I sneaked in a whitespace fix.

headers_check.pl currently emits some spurious warnings, especially for
the drm headers, about using __[us]{8,16,32,64} types without including
linux/types.h. Recursively search for types.h inclusion, avoiding
circular references.

Some headers don't bother with "extern" in function prototypes, which
results in said prototypes being unnoticed and exported to userland.
This patch slightly improves detection of such cases by checking for C
type names as well in the beginning of a line.

According to PBP; best way practice is to use local reference for file
handle and three argument open. Also perl prototypes are a mistake.

Correct the regular expression in scripts/headers_check.pl to include '_'
as a valid character in the class; otherwise, the check will report a
"leaked" symbol of CONFIG_A_B_C as merely CONFIG_A.
This patch will make no difference whatsoever in the current kernel tree
as the call to the perl routine that does that check is currently
commented out:
&check_include();
&check_asm_types();
&check_sizetypes();
&check_prototypes();
# Dropped for now. Too much noise &check_config();
However, I noticed that problem when I was building the yum downloadable
kernel source rpm for fedora 11 (beta), which *does* run that check, and
that's where the problem became obvious.

The check for references to CONFIG_ symbols in exported headers turned
out to be too agressive with the current state of affairs.
After the work of Jaswinder to clean up all relevant cases we are down
to almost pure noise.
So lets drop the check for now - we can always add it back later
should our headers be ready for that.

The new check for asm/types.h and linux/types.h had
a few false positives.
o We cannot let linux/types.h include linux/types.h
o The int-ll64.h and int-ll64.h define the types
and are included by linux/types.h
Handle this by hardcoding the filenames in the headers_check script.

If we see __[us](8|16|32|64) then we must include <linux/types.h>
If wee see include of <asm/types.h> then we recommend <linux/types.h>

Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions
of Perl less than 5.6.0. It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8.
I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still
be some that hit it, I imagine. There are three basic issues:
1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of
the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3.
2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar
variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of.
3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use
the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

Move the core functionality of headers_install
and headers_check to two small perl scripts.
The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and
changed to operate on all files in a directory.
So if one file is changed then all files in the
directory is processed.
perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this
is pure text processing which perl is good at and
especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to
see changes / new checks implmented.
The speed is ~300% faster on this box.
And the output generated to the screen is now down to
two lines per directory (one for install, one for check)
so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build.
The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient
feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>
