The definition for single-argument kfree_rcu() has been removed,
so that any further attempt to use it will result in a build error.
Because of this build error, there is no longer any need for a special
check in checkpatch.pl.
Therefore, revert commit 1eacac3255.

"externs should be avoided in .c files" needs an exception for linker
symbols, like those that mark the start, stop of many kernel sections.
Since checkpatch already checks REALNAME to avoid looking at fragments
changing vmlinux.lds.h, add a new else-if block to look at them
instead. As a simple heuristic, treat all words (in the patch-line)
as possible symbols, to screen later warnings.
For my test case, the possible-symbols included BOUNDED_BY (a macro),
which is extra, but not troublesome - these are just to screen
WARNINGS that might be issued on later fragments (changing .c files)
Where the WARN is issued, precede it with an else-if block to catch
one common extern-in-c use case: "extern struct foo bar[]". Here we
can at least issue a softer warning, after checking for a match with a
maybe-linker-symbol parsed earlier from the patch.
Though heuristic, it worked for my test-case, allowing both start__,
stop__ $symbol's (wo the prefixes specifically named). I've coded it
narrowly, it can be expanded later to cover any other expressions.
It does require that the externs in .c's have the additions to
vmlinux.lds.h in the same patch. And requires vmlinux.lds.h before .c
fragments.

RCU Tasks Trace is quite specialized, having been created specifically
for sleepable BPF programs. Because it allows general blocking within
readers, any new use of RCU Tasks Trace must take current use cases into
account. Therefore, update checkpatch.pl to complain about use of any of
the RCU Tasks Trace API members outside of BPF and outside of RCU itself.

These are the first few patches in the Scope-based Resource Management

yet.
Adding the infrastructure now allows multiple people to start using them.
Of note is that Sparse will need some work since it doesn't yet
understand this attribute and might have decl-after-stmt issues -- but I
think that's being worked on.

"Link:" and "Closes:" tags have to be used with public URLs.
It is difficult to make sure the link is public but at least we can verify
the tag is followed by 'http(s)://'.
With that, we avoid such a tag that is not allowed [1]:
Closes: <number>
Now that we check the "link" tags are followed by a URL, we can relax the
check linked to "Reported-by being followed by a link tag" to only verify
if a "link" tag is present after the "Reported-by" one.

Because there is a possibility that other similar tags will be added in
the future and to reduce the number of places where the code will be
modified to allow this new tag, a list with all these "link" tags is now
used.
Two variables are created from it: one to search for such tags and one to
print all tags in a warning message.

Single-argument kvfree_rcu() usage is being deprecated [1] [2]. However,
till all users are converted, we would like to introduce checkpatch
errors for new patches submitted.
This patch adds support for the same. Tested with a trial patch.
For now, we are only considering usages that don't have compound
nesting, for example ignore: kvfree_rcu( (rcu_head_obj), rcu_head_name).
This is sufficient as such usages are unlikely.
Once all users are converted and we remove the old API, we can also revert this
checkpatch patch then.

Instead of using an unnecessarily complicated approach to print a line
that is warned about, use `$herecurr` instead, just like everywhere else
in checkpatch.
While at it, remove a superfluous space in one of the changed lines, too.
In a unmodified line also remove a superfluous check for a space before a
signed-off-by tag, to me consistent with the check at the start of the
section.
All three problems were found by Joe Perches during review of new code
inspired by the code modified here.

Encourage patch authors to link to reports by issuing a warning, if a
Reported-by: is not accompanied by a link to the report. Those links are
often extremely useful for any code archaeologist that wants to know more
about the backstory of a change than the commit message provides. That
includes maintainers higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why
Linus asks developers to add such links [1, 2, 3]. To quote [1]:

Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression tracking
efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with patches that
are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

Patch series "checkpatch.pl: warn about discouraged tags and missing Link:
tags", v4.
The first two changes make checkpatch.pl check for a few mistakes wrt to
links to bug reports Linus recently complained about a few times.
Avoiding those is also important for my regression tracking efforts a lot,
as the automated tracking performed by regzbot relies on the proper usage
of the Link: tag.
The third patch fixes a few small oddities noticed in existing code during
review of the two changes.
This patch (of 3):
Issue a warning when encountering URLs behind unknown tags, as Linus
recently stated ```please stop making up random tags that make no sense.
Just use "Link:"```[1]. That statement was triggered by an use of
'BugLink', but that's not the only tag people invented:
$ git log -100000 --no-merges --format=email -P \
--grep='^\w+:[ ]*http' | grep -Poh '^\w+:[ ]*http' | \

Some of these non-standard tags make it harder for external tools that
rely on use of proper tags. One of those tools is the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot', which looks out for "Link:" tags pointing to reports of
tracked regressions.
The initial idea was to use a disallow list to raise an error when
encountering known unwanted tags like BugLink:; during review it was
requested to use a list of allowed tags instead[2].

It was suggested by Fabio that kunmap() be marked deprecated in
checkpatch.[1] This did not seem necessary until an invalid conversion of
kmap_local_page() appeared in mainline.[2][3] The introduction of this bug
would have been flagged with kunmap() being marked deprecated.
Add kunmap() and kunmap_atomic() to checkpatch to help prevent further
confusion.

The lkml.org, marc.info, spinics.net, etc archives are not quite as useful

may disappear in the future. The lore archives are more consistent and

The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
- Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
- Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
- Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
- Rust kernel documentation and samples
Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed
both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to
support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people, and many more,

checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be
avoided, however, Linus notes:
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [1]
So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it,
make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed.
As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing
the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.

Include Rust in the "source code files" category, so that
the language-independent tests are checked for Rust too,
and teach `checkpatch` about the comment style for Rust files.
This enables the malformed SPDX check, the misplaced SPDX license

and the embedded filename check.

kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().
There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.
kmap_local_page() is safe from any context and is therefore redundant with
kmap_atomic() with the exception of any pagefault or preemption disable
requirements. However, using kmap_atomic() for these side effects makes
the code less clear. So any requirement for pagefault or preemption
disable should be made explicitly.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored.

The code fragment below
int foo(int *array, int index)
{
return array[index & 0xFF];
}
triggers an incorrect camelcase detection by checking a substring of the
hex constant:
CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <xFF>
#3: FILE: test.c:3:
+ return array[index & 0xFF];
This is caused by passing the whole string "array[index & 0xFF]" to the
inner loop that iterates over a "$Ident" match. The numeric constant is
not a $Ident as it doesn't start with [A-Za-z_] and should be excluded
from the match.
Similar issue can be detected with other constants like "1uL", "0xffffU".
Force the match to start at word boundary so the $Ident will be properly
checked starting from its first char and the constants will be
filtered-out.

Commit 0ee3e7b889 ("checkpatch: get default codespell dictionary path
from package location") introduced the ability to search for the
codespell dictionary rather than hardcoding its path.
codespell requires Python 3.6 or above, but on some systems, the python
executable is a Python 2.7 interpreter. In this case, searching for the
dictionary fails, subsequently making codespell fail:
No codespell typos will be found - file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory
So, use python3 to remove ambiguity.
In addition, when searching for dictionary.txt, do not check if the
codespell executable exists since,
- checkpatch.pl only uses dictionary.txt, not the codespell
executable.
- codespell can be installed via a Python package manager, in which
case the codespell executable may not be present in a typical $PATH,
but a dictionary does exist.

One exceptions to the COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE rule is a file path followed
by ':'. That is typically some sort diagnostic message from a compiler
or a build tool, in which case we don't want to wrap the lines but keep
the message unmodified.
The regular expression used to match this pattern currently doesn't
accept absolute paths or + characters. This can result in false
positives as in the following (out-of-tree) example:
...
/home/jerome/work/optee_repo_qemu/build/../toolchains/aarch32/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: /home/jerome/work/toolchains-gcc10.2/aarch32/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/10.2.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.a(eh_alloc.o): in function `__cxa_allocate_exception':

...
Update the regular expression to match the above paths.

GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the
results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values).
Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values).
Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size
argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication),
it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is
greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This
isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at
run-time (this was an intentional design). To deal with this, we must
disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang
does not have this warning option.)
Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not
sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under
older GCC versions. The attribute itself must be disabled in those
situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the
SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1:
In file included from ./include/linux/resource_ext.h:11,
from ./include/linux/pci.h:40,
from drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h:9,

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Specifically:
'-Wno-alloc-size-larger-than' is not correctly handled by GCC < 9.1
https://godbolt.org/z/hqsfG7q84 (doesn't disable)
https://godbolt.org/z/P9jdrPTYh (doesn't admit to not knowing about option)
https://godbolt.org/z/465TPMWKb (only warns when other warnings appear)
'-Walloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615' is not handled by GCC < 8.2
https://godbolt.org/z/73hh1EPxz (ignores numeric value)
Since anything marked with __alloc_size would also qualify for marking
with __malloc, just include __malloc along with it to avoid redundant
markings. (Suggested by Linus Torvalds.)
Finally, make sure checkpatch.pl doesn't get confused about finding the
__alloc_size attribute on functions. (Thanks to Joe Perches.)

where SHA-1 is the commit hex hash with a minimum lenth of 12 and ("Title

The current tests fail when the "Title line" has one or more embedded

Improve the test that finds the commit SHA-1 hex hash then ("Title line")
by using $balanced_parens for a maximum of 3 consecutive lines.

Instead of checkpatch requiring the patch author to exactly match the
signed-off-by tag, commit 48ca2d8ac8 ("checkpatch: add new warnings to
author signoff checks.") safely relaxed this requirement.
Although the local-part of an email address (local-part@domain), may be
case sensitive, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts
impedes interoperability and is discouraged. Mailbox domains follow
normal DNS rules and are hence not case sensitive. (Refer to
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.4.)
Further relax the patch author and signed-off-by tag comparison by making
the email address check case insensitive.

checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions.
Example:
WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN)
+ return EPOLLIN;
Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values
of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false
positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return
values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than
perfect solution.
There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to
omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.
