The current octal permissions test is very slow.
When patch ("checkpatch: add checks for constant non-octal permissions")
was added, processing time approximately tripled.
Regain almost all of the performance by not looping through all the
possible functions unless the line contains one of the functions.

This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not
warn in a lot more situations.
It seems people agree that:
return (foo || bar);
and
return foo || bar;
are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them.
For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single
function or a ternary.
return (foo);
return (foo(bar));
return (foo ? bar : baz);
The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.
Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and
trailing parentheses.

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.
e.g.:
commit 4a2c94c9b6 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")
case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.
If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional. Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"
Add a test to look for missing break statements.
This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.
Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence. The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.

As discussed recently on the arm [1] and lm-sensors [2] lists, it is
possible to use section markers on variables in a way which gcc doesn't
understand (or at least not the way the developer intended):
static struct __initdata samsung_pll_clock exynos4_plls[nr_plls] = {
does NOT put exynos4_plls in the .initdata section. The __initdata marker
can be virtually anywhere on the line, EXCEPT right after "struct". The
preferred location is before the "=" sign if there is one, or before the
trailing ";" otherwise.

[2] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2013-August/039836.html

There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete.
Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines
with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only
comments.
This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the
number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines.
One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a
break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip
interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could
be done multiple times unnecessarily.

I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was
broken for them. It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly
with messages like:
Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340.
The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed
in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at
_best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be
completely broken.
If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and
give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error
messages.
This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was
end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch
will let folks override this if they want.

$Lval is a test for complete name (ie: foo->bar.Baz[1])
If any of this is CamelCase, then the current test uses the entire $Lval.
This isn't optimal because it can emit messages with foo->bar.Baz and
bar.Baz when Baz is a variable specified in an include file.
So instead, break the $Lval into words and check each word for CamelCase
uses.

When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages.
These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these
messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the
include/... path.
So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look
for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes.
Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or
file can be ignored.
There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu
seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses.
That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep.
This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there
is a CamelCase use found.
If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it
uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h"
