objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups.  For example, when
removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging
tree.

objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that
each commit made no changes to the resulting object code.  It has the
same return values as diff(1).

This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish
cryto drivers to the staging tree.  I needed a programmatic way to
confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently
change the code.

Temporary files (objdump output) are stored in

  /path/to/linux/.tmp_objdiff

'make mrproper' will remove this directory.

CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y results in a .mod.c for every compiled file in the
kernel. Issuing a 'make cscope' on a compiled kernel tree results in
the cscope files containing *.mod.c files.

[prarit@prarit linux]# make cscope
[prarit@prarit linux]# cat cscope.files | grep mod.c | wc -l
4807

These files are not useful for cscope and should be ignored. For example,

   #   line  filename / context / line
   1    105  arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.mod.c <<GLOBAL>>
             { 0x618911fc, __VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(numa_node) },

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the
references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in
numerous drivers.  The idea is to still allow some reference to an
external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the
kernel tree without the COPYING file.

So for example this statement will still return an error:
  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.

e.g.:
  commit 4a2c94c9 ("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.

Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the

are emitted.  Any "ties" are not shown.

"make headers_check" warns about soundcard.h for (at least) five years
now:
    [...]/usr/include/linux/soundcard.h:1054: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel

We're apparently stuck with providing OSSlib-3.8 compatibility, so let's
special case this declaration just to silence it.

Notes:

0) Support for OSSlib post 3.8 was already removed in commit 43a99076
   ("sound: Remove OSSlib stuff from linux/soundcard.h").  Five years have
   passed since that commit: do people still care about OSSlib-3.8?  If
   not, quite a bit of code could be remove from soundcard.h (and probably
   ultrasound.h).

2) By the way, what is actually meant by:
    It is no longer possible to actually link against OSSlib with this
    header, but we still provide these macros for programs using them.

Doesn't that mean compatibility to OSSlib isn't even useful?

3) Anyhow, a previous discussion soundcard.h, which led to that commit,
   starts at https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/20/349 .

4) And, yes, I sneaked in a whitespace fix.

their linux stack's suspend/resume time. Using a kernel image built with a
few extra options enabled, the tool will execute a suspend and will
capture dmesg and ftrace data until resume is complete. This data is
transformed into a device timeline and a callgraph to give a quick and
detailed view of which devices and callbacks are taking the most time in
suspend/resume. The output is a single html file which can be viewed in

When expert configuration option(CONFIG_EXPERT) is enabled, menuconfig

Avoid prescribing kernel styled shortcuts for gcc extensions of
__attribute__((foo)) in the uapi include paths.

Fix $realfile filename when using -f/--file to not remove first level
directory as if the filename was used in a -P1 patch.  Only strip the
first level directory (typically a or b) for P1 patches.

Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a
return statement.

This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend
on perl v5.10 and higher.

This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find
like:

ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required
#211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211:
+		return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1);
