As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.

Add a block that identifies multiple line function definitions. Save the function name into $context_function to improve the embedded function name test. Look for misplaced open brace on the function definition. Emit an OPEN_BRACE error when the function definition is similar to void foo(int arg1, int arg2) { Miscellanea: o Remove the $realfile test in function declaration w/o named arguments test o Comment the function declaration w/o named arguments test Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/de620ed6ebab75fdfa323741ada2134a0f545892.1496835238.git.joe@perches.comSigned-off-by:David Kershner <david.kershner@unisys.com> Signed-off-by:

Checkpatch warns of an incorrect commit reference style for any hexadecimal number of 12 digits and more. Numbers of 12 digits are not necessarily commit ids. For an example provoking the problem see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9170897/ Checkpatch should only warn if the number refers to an existing commit.

Fix the off-by-one in the suppression of lines in a statement block. This means that for multiple line statements like foo(bar, baz, qux); $stat has been inspected first correctly for the entire statement, and subsequently incorrectly just for qux); This fix will help make tracking appropriate indentation a little easier.

Commit 7dd96816 ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make good use of this optimisation.

Several callers have constant 'start' and an 'nbits' that is a multiple of 8, so we can turn them into calls to memset. We don't need the entirety of 'start' and 'nbits' to be constant, we just need to know whether they're divisible by 8.

Patch series "Bitmap optimisations", v2. These three bitmap patches use more efficient specialisations when the compiler can figure out that it's safe to do so. Thanks to Rasmus's eagle eyes, a nasty bug in v1 was avoided, and I've added a test case which would have caught it.

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch 5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6). Patches 1 to 4 are prerequisites. Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of this patch series. Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2. Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of warnings when <linux/bug.h> was included by <linux/kernel.h>. That is no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz. Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on "include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch 5. Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including <linux/bug.h> in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures due to circular dependencies. Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has array type. 1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype 2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment 3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" 4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'" 5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h> 6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of() This patch (of 6): The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its parameters. This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not already declared. Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid the warnings.

We used to read several bytes of the shadow memory in advance. Therefore additional shadow memory mapped to prevent crash if speculative load would happen near the end of the mapped shadow memory. Now we don't have such speculative loads, so we no longer need to map additional shadow memory. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170601162338.23540-3-aryabinin@virtuozzo.comSigned-off-by:

For some unaligned memory accesses we have to check additional byte of the shadow memory. Currently we load that byte speculatively to have only single load + branch on the optimistic fast path. However, this approach has some downsides: - It's unaligned access, so this prevents porting KASAN on architectures which doesn't support unaligned accesses. - We have to map additional shadow page to prevent crash if speculative load happens near the end of the mapped memory. This would significantly complicate upcoming memory hotplug support. I wasn't able to notice any performance degradation with this patch. So these speculative loads is just a pain with no gain, let's remove them. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170601162338.23540-1-aryabinin@virtuozzo.comSigned-off-by:
