This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes. Of note:
- checks for spacing on round and square bracket combinations
- loosening of the single statement brace checks, to allow
them when they contain comments or where other blocks in a
compound statement have them.
- parks the multple declaration support
- allows architecture defines in architecture specific headers
Andy Whitcroft (21):
Version: 0.09

This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of
note:
- checks for documentation for new __setup calls
- clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
- reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
- reports on unwanted externs
This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.
Full changelog:

add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher
accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;)

Update to checkpatch.pl v0.06. Of note:
- do { and else handled correctly as control structures for { matching
- trailing whitespace correctly tripped when line otherwise empty
- support for const, including const foo * const bar
- multiline macros defining values correctly reported
This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/apw/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.06
Full Changelog:
Andy Whitcroft (14):
Version: 0.06
cleanup the Type regular expression declarations
fix up block counting
end of line counts as a space for ++ and --
do { needs the same checks as if, for et al
handle "const foo * const a" as a valid type
add spacing checks following ;
complete whitespace lines should trip trailing whitespace check
else is also a block control structure
badly formatted else can trip function declaration
detect and report trailing statements after else
types need to be terminated by a boundary
multiline macros defining values should be surrounded by parentheses
soften the wording of the Signed-off-by: warnings

This version brings a some new tests, and a host of changes to fix
false positives, of particular note:
- detect 'var ++;' and 'var --;' as a bad combination
- multistatement #defines are now checked based on statement count
- multistatement #defines with initialisation correctly reported
- checks the location of the inline keywords
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for variables are now understood
- typedefs are loosened to handle sparse etc
This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL:
http://www.shadowen.org/~apw/public/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.05
Full Changelog:
Andy Whitcroft (18):
Version: 0.05
macro definition checks should be for a single statement
avoid assignements only in if conditionals
declarations of function pointers need no space
multiline macros which are purely initialisation cannot be wrapped
EXPORT_SYMBOL can also directly follow a variable definition
check on the location of the inline keyword
EXPORT_SYMBOL needs to allow for attributes
ensure we do not find C99 // in strings
handle malformed #include lines
accept the {0,} form
typedefs are sensible for defining function pointer parameters
ensure { handling correctly handles nested switch() statements
trailing whitespace checks are not anchored
typedefs for sparse bitwise annotations make sense
update the type matcher to include sparse annotations
clean up indent and spacing

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.
As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.
