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.

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

Presence of hexadecimal address or symbol results in false warning
message by checkpatch.pl.

For example, running checkpatch on commit b8ad540d ("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 899e5ffb ("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.

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 be6577af ("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.

To avoid false positives in presence of SPDX-License-Identifier in

Checkpatch.pl doesn't have a check for excluding while (...) {...} blocks
from MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE error.

For example, running checkpatch.pl on the file mm/maccess.c in the kernel
generates the following error:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop(dst, src, len, type, err_label)  \
+       while (len >= sizeof(type)) {                                   \
+               __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label);        \
+               dst += sizeof(type);                                    \
+               src += sizeof(type);                                    \
+               len -= sizeof(type);                                    \
+       }

The error is misleading for this case.  Enclosing it in parentheses
doesn't make any sense.

Checkpatch already has an exception list for such common macro types.
Added a new exception for while (...) {...} style blocks to the same.

In addition, the brace flatten logic was modified by changing the
substitution characters from "1" to "1u".  This was done to ensure that
macros in the form "#define foo(bar) while(bar){bar--;}" were also
correctly procecssed.

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split
into multiple lines.  The author identity could not be resolved and
checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning.

A typical example is commit e33bcbab ("tee: add support for session's
client UUID generation").  When checkpatch was run on this commit, it
displayed:

"WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal
patch author ''"

This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the
author himself wrote in commit cd261496 ("checkpatch: warn if missing
author Signed-off-by"):

"Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part
is compared."

Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension
lines.  RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start
with a WSP character (a space or htab).  The solution was therefore to
concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long
header.

If a file exists in git and checkpatch is used without the -f flag for
scanning a file, then checkpatch will scan the file assuming it's a patch
and emit:

ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch

Change the behavior to assume the -f flag if the file exists in git.

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d
("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly
useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs".

Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid
compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old
uninitialized_var macro behavior.

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have
used semicolons instead.  Only direct assignments or use of a single
function or value on a single line are detected by this test.

e.g.:
	foo = bar(),		/* typical use is semicolon not comma */
	bar = baz();

Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses.

No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false
negatives are possible.

e.g.:
	foo = bar() + 1,	/* comma use, but not direct assignment */
	bar = baz();

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_
environment variable.  Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with
a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does
not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all.  Such projects may still want to adhere
to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl.

One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have
configuration options prefixed with CFG_.  It also mostly follows the
kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite
valuable.

To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.
