Andy Whitcroft bb44ad39c8 checkpatch: trailing statements ensure we report the end of the line
When reporting some complex trailing statements we report only the
starting line of the error, that tends to imply the shown line is in error
and confuse the reader.  As we do know where the actual error is report
that line too with an appropriate gap marker where applicable.

    #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
    #1: FILE: Z202.c:1:
    +       for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); pbh != bh;
    +               pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++);
    #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
    #4: FILE: Z202.c:4:
    +       for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page);
    [...]
    +               pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++);

We often see macros which define structure members, these are not complex
and necessarily do not have braces or brackets.  For example:

Andy Whitcroft c45dcabd26 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19
This version is a bit of a whopper.  This version brings a few new checks,
improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the
way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - return is not a function and is now reported,
 - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard,
 - we now intuit new type modifiers, and
 - comment handling is much improved

Andy Whitcroft (18):
      Version: 0.19
      fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports
      colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm
      values: #include is a preprocessor statement
      quotes: fix single character quotes at line end
      add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types"
      kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length
      types: word boundary is not always required
      improved #define bracketing reports
      uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name
      possible types: add possible modifier handling
      possible types: fastcall is a type modifier
      types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types
      static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers
      checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2
      comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking
      return is not a function
      do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h
      return is not a function -- tighten test

Andy Whitcroft 9c9ba34ee3 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.18
This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of
new checks.

Of note:
 - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external
   assignments,
 - printf format strings including %L are reported,
 - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had
   temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to
   the loss of its test.

Andy Whitcroft (8):
      Version: 0.18
      false should trip 0 assignment checks
      tests: reinstate missing tests
      tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test

This version brings improvements to external declaration detection, fixes to
quote tracking, fixes to unary tracking, some clarification of wording, and
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - much better unary tracking across preprocessor directives
 - UTF8 checks highlight the character at fault
 - widening of mutex detection

Andy Whitcroft (17):
      Version: 0.17
      values: __attribute__ carries through the previous type
      quotes: should only follow "positive" lines
      clarify the indent tabs over spaces wording
      loosen NR_CPUS check for array range initialisers

      NR_CPUS is valid in preprocessor statements
      comment detection should not start on the @@ line
      types: add support for #undef

Andy Whitcroft 773647a09a update checkpatch.pl to version 0.16
This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the
handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly
handled.  It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives.  It also
brings a number of new checks.  The most contentious change will likely be
the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c.

Of note:
 - all new quote tracking across lines
 - all new comment tracking
 - new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings
 - recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores
 - recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto*
 - report on direct use of NR_CPUS

Andy Whitcroft (22):
      Version: 0.16
      string quote tracking should cross line boundaries
      check spacing round -> correctly across newlines
      checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings
      standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited'
      take the first end of condition when parsing statements
      values: cope with unbalanced brackets
      preprocessor #elif is not a function
      preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks
      test: allow us to limit output to a single error
      recommend real mutexes over semaphores
      asm checks should mirror those for __asm__
      warn on semaphores being used in place of completions
      trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while ();
      recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX
      redo comment handling as a quote type
      use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong
      consistant spacing should only be about spaces
      if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels
      use tr/// to align spacing for operators
      move to using four parameter form of substr

This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to

  - loosening of the block brace checks
  - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements

Andy Whitcroft de7d4f0e11 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.07
This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use.  Of
note:

  - checks for documentation for new __setup calls
  - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
  - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
  - reports on unwanted externs

This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

Andy Whitcroft 0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.
