840080a084 checkpatch: add exception to return then else test
Add an exception to the return before else warning when the line
following it is also a return like:

	if (foo)
		return bar;
	else
		return baz;

This form of a test then return is at least as readable as

	if (foo)
		return bar;
	return baz;

so don't emit a warning on the first form.

66b47b4a9d checkpatch: look for common misspellings
Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list.  Several false
positives were removed, and several additional words added that were
common in the kernel:

	backword backwords
	invalide valide
	recieves
	singed unsinged

While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high
priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

In the 13830 commits between 3.15 and 3.16, the script would have noticed
560 spelling mistakes. The top 25 are shown here:

$ git log --pretty=oneline v3.15..v3.16 | wc -l

08a2843e77 checkpatch: warn on macros with flow control statements
Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to
read as any flow movement is unexpected.

Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition.

Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros
commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the
function name definition like:

	#define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type)	\
	rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...)		\
	{					\
		rtn_type rtn;			\
		[code...]			\
		return rtn;			\
	}

56193274ef checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptions
This script is used by many other projects, and in some of them the
requirement of at least 4 line long description for all Kconfig items is
excessive.  This patch adds a command line option to control the required

Tested running this script over a patch including a two line config
description.  The script generated a warning when invoked as is, and did
not generate it when invoked with --min-conf-desc-length=2.

1813087dbc checkpatch: add test for native c90 types in unusual order
c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says:
    "type specifiers may occur in any order"

That means that:
    short int is the same as int short
    unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short
    etc...

checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types.

For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by
checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int
signed short" variants are found.

Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants.

Add this misordered table to the findable types.

Warn when the misordered style is used.

This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it
depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for
"$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").

29ee1b0c67 checkpatch: ignore email headers better
There are some patches created by git format-patch that when scanned by
checkpatch report errors on lines like

To:	address.tld

This is a checkpatch false positive.

Improve the logic a bit to ignore folded email headers to avoid emitting
these messages.

032a4c0f9a checkpatch: warn on unnecessary else after return or break
Using an else following a break or return can unnecessarily indent code
blocks.

ie:
	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
		int foo = bar();
		if (foo < 1)
			break;
		else
			usleep(1);
	}

is generally better written as:

	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
		int foo = bar();
		if (foo < 1)
			break;
		usleep(1);
	}

Warn when a bare else statement is preceded by a break or return
indented 1 tab more than the else.

ebfdc40969 checkpatch: attempt to find unnecessary 'out of memory' messages
Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.

These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.

Emit a warning on these types of messages.

This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"

ie: this code matches:

	foo = kmalloc();
	if (foo == NULL) {
		printk("Out of memory\n");
		return -ENOMEM;
	}

This test is very crude and incomplete.

This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.

ie: this code does not match:

	foo = kmalloc();
	if (!foo) {
		rtn = -ENOMEM;
		printk("Out of memory!\n");
		goto out;
	}

This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.

spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for
that tool too.
