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.

checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon
immediately follows an identifier.
Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any
spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit
that may be used to define a bitfield length.
Miscellanea:
o Improve the initial checkpatch comment
o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and'
o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit
(Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation)
o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments
o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)'

Since commit d0259c42ab ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py
explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to
python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py",
the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for
python3.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in <module>

ImportError: No module named git
To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if
the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute
it directly.

safe not to warn when arguments are being reused in those four

Exclude those so that they can pass checkpatch.

Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch.pl to emit additional verbose
test descriptions. The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled
by the flag -v or --verbose.
The test descriptions are parsed from the checkpatch documentation
file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`. The test
descriptions in the docs are kept in a fixed format grouped by
usage. Some examples of this format are:
**LINE_SPACING**
Vertical space is wasted given the limited number of lines an
editor window can display when multiple blank lines are used.
**MISSING_SIGN_OFF**
The patch is missing a Signed-off-by line. A signed-off-by
line should be added according to Developer's certificate of
Origin.
To avoid lengthy output, the verbose description is printed only
for the first instance of a particular message type.
The --verbose option cannot be used along with the --terse option.
Verbose mode can be used with the --list-types option.
The --list-types output also supports color coding now.

objtool requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol
names that have a '.L' prefix do not emit symbol table entries, as they
have special meaning for the assembler.
'.L' prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be
avoided for denoting a range of code via 'SYM_*_START/END' annotations.
Add a new check to emit a warning on finding the usage of '.L' symbols for
'.S' files, if it denotes range of code via SYM_*_START/END annotation
pair.

Avoid multiple false positives by ignoring attributes.
Various attributes like volatile and ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp cause
checkpatch to emit invalid "Missing a blank line after declarations"
messages.
Use copies of $sline and $prevline, remove $Attribute and $Sparse, and use
the existing tests to avoid these false positives.
Miscellanea:
o Add volatile to $Attribute
This also reduces checkpatch runtime a bit by moving the indentation
comparison test to the start of the block to avoid multiple unnecessary
regex tests.

Summary of modules changes for the 5.12 merge window:
- Retire EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). These export
types were introduced between 2006 - 2008. All the of the unused symbols have

checkpatch reports a false TYPO_SPELLING warning for some words containing
an apostrophe when run with --codespell option.
A false positive is "doesn't". Occurrence of the word causes checkpatch
to emit the following warning:
"WARNING: 'doesn'' may be misspelled - perhaps 'doesn't'?"
Modify the regex pattern to be more in line with the codespell default
word matching regex. This fixes the word capture and avoids the false
warning.
In addition, highlight the misspelled word location by adding a caret
below the word.

checkpatch doesn't report warnings for many common mistakes in emails.
Some of which are trailing commas and incorrect use of email comments.
At the same time several false positives are reported due to incorrect
handling of mail comments. The most common of which is due to the
pattern:
<stable@vger.kernel.org> # X.X
Improve email parsing in checkpatch.
Some general email rules are defined:
- Multiple name comments should not be allowed.
- Comments inside address should not be allowed.
- In general comments should be enclosed within parentheses.
Relaxation is given to comments beginning with #.
- Stable addresses should not begin with a name.
- Comments in stable addresses should begin only
with a #.
Improvements to parsing:
- Detect and report unexpected content after email.
- Quoted names are excluded from comment parsing.
- Trailing dots, commas or quotes in email are removed during
formatting. Correspondingly a BAD_SIGN_OFF warning
is emitted.
- Improperly quoted email like '"name <address>"' are now
warned about.
In addition, added fixes for all the possible rules.

It is generally preferred that the macros from
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h are used, unless there is a reason not
to.
checkpatch currently checks __attribute__ for each of packed, aligned,
section, printf, scanf, and weak. Other declarations in
compiler_attributes.h are not handled.
Add a generic test to check the presence of such attributes. Some
attributes require more specific handling and are kept separate.
Also add fixes to the generic attributes check to substitute the correct
conversions.
New attributes which are now handled are:
__always_inline__
__assume_aligned__(a, ## __VA_ARGS__)
__cold__
__const__
__copy__(symbol)
__designated_init__
__externally_visible__
__gnu_inline__
__malloc__
__mode__(x)
__no_caller_saved_registers__
__noclone__
__noinline__
__nonstring__
__noreturn__
__pure__
__unused__
__used__
Declarations which contain multiple attributes like
__attribute__((__packed__, __cold__)) are also handled except when proper
conversions for one or more attributes of the list cannot be determined.

There are about 100,000 uses of 'static const <type>' but about 400 uses
of 'static <type> const' in the kernel where type is not a pointer.
The kernel almost always uses "static const" over "const static" as there
is a compiler warning for that declaration style.
But there is no compiler warning for "static <type> const".
So add a checkpatch warning for the atypical declaration uses of.
const static <type> <foo>
and
static <type> const <foo>
For example:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --emacs --quiet --nosummary -types=static_const arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c
arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: WARNING: Move const after static - use 'static const u8'

Presence of hexadecimal address or symbol results in false warning
message by checkpatch.pl.
For example, running checkpatch on commit b8ad540dd4 ("mptcp: fix
memory leak in mptcp_subflow_create_socket()") results in warning:
WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'ff'
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2f 30 0a 81 88 ff ff ........./0.....
Similarly, the presence of list command output in commit results in
an unnecessary warning.
For example, running checkpatch on commit 899e5ffbf2 ("perf record:
Introduce --switch-output-event") gives:
WARNING:REPEATED_WORD: Possible repeated word: 'root'
dr-xr-x---. 12 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:46 ..
Here, it reports 'ff' and 'root' to be repeated, but it is in fact part
of some address or code, where it has to be repeated.
In these cases, the intent of the warning to find stylistic issues in
commit messages is not met and the warning is just completely wrong in
this case.
To avoid these warnings, add an additional regex check for the directory
permission pattern and avoid checking the line for this class of
warning. Similarly, to avoid hex pattern, check if the word consists of
hex symbols and skip this warning if it is not among the common english
words formed using hex letters.
A quick evaluation on v5.6..v5.8 showed that this fix reduces
REPEATED_WORD warnings by the frequency of 1890.
A quick manual check found all cases are related to hex output or list
command outputs in commit messages.

Recently, commit 4f6ad8aa1eac ("checkpatch: move repeated word test")
moved the repeated word test to check for more file types. But after
this, if checkpatch.pl is run on MAINTAINERS, it generates several
new warnings of the type:
WARNING: Possible repeated word: 'git'
For example:
WARNING: Possible repeated word: 'git'
+T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml.git
So, the pattern "git git://..." is a false positive in this case.
There are several other combinations which may produce a wrong warning
message, such as "@size size", ":Begin begin", etc.
Extend repeated word check to compare the characters before and after
the word matches.
If there is a non whitespace character before the first word or a non
whitespace character excluding punctuation characters after the second
word, then the check is skipped and the warning is avoided.
Also add case insensitive word matching to the repeated word check.

If set, use the environment variable GIT_DIR to change the default .git
location of the kernel git tree.
If GIT_DIR is unset, keep using the current ".git" default.

The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same
name or same address are not handled separately.
For example, running checkpatch on commit be6577af0c ("parisc: Add
atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups"), gives:
WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author
'John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>'
The signoff line was:
"Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>"
Clearly the author has signed off but with a slightly different version
of his name. A more appropriate warning would have been to point out
at the name mismatch instead.
Previously, the values assumed by $authorsignoff were either 0 or 1
to indicate whether a proper sign off by author is present.
Extended the checks to handle four new cases.
$authorsignoff values now denote the following:
0: Missing sign off by patch author.
1: Sign off present and identical.
2: Addresses and names match, but comments differ.
"James Watson(JW) <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
3: Addresses match, but names are different.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James <james@gmail.com>"
4: Names match, but addresses are different.
"James Watson <james@watson.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>"
5: Names match, addresses excluding subaddress details (RFC 5233) match.
"James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james+a@gmail.com>"
Also introduced a new message type FROM_SIGN_OFF_MISMATCH
for cases 2, 3, 4 and 5.
