Previous behavior allowed only alphabetic prefixes like pr_info to exceed
the 80 column line length limit.

ath6kl wants to add a digit into the prefix, so allow numbers as well as
digits in the <prefix>_<level> printks.

<prefix>_<level>_ratelimited and <prefix>_<level>_once and WARN_RATELIMIT
and WARN_ONCE may now exceed 80 cols.

Add missing <prefix>_printk type for completeness.

Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that
checkpatch produces.  This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other
projects and integrate into scm hook scripts.

Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types.  Add option
--show-types to emit the "type" of each message.  Categorize all ERROR,
WARN and CHK messages with types.

Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options.
3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf
    .             customized per-tree configurations
    $HOME         user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exist
    ./scripts     lk defaults to override script
The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and
the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.
Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment.

Update "false positive" output for readability.

Update version to 0.32

A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the
arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better.

Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of
min_t or max_t instead.

Caveat:  This only works for min() or max() on a single line.
         It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines.

This does find:
	min((u32)foo, bar);
But it does not find:
	max((unsigned long)foo,
	    bar);

The ARRAY_SIZE macro in scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c returns a value of
type size_t. That value is being compared to a variable of type int in
a loop in read_node(). Change the int variable to size_t type as well,
so we don't do signed vs unsigned type comparisons with all the
potential promotion/sign extension trouble that can cause (also
silences compiler warnings at high levels of warnings).

The commit f02e8a65 sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section.
The sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker.
Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux
(already linked) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet).
These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't
detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of
the new exported symbols structure.

checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel
headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one
follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header
files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut.

For example busybox will fail to compile:
 CC      miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o
 In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0:
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here
...

Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in
the header_install.pl script.

The placement of the opening brace "{" after 'if' statements in
scripts/docproc.c is inconsistent. Most are placed on the same line as the 'if'
statement itself as per CodingStyle, but a few are not.  This patch cleans up
the inconsistency. We save a few source lines and the file then uses the same

This patch removes the assumption of the bootgraph.pl script that the
timing information reported by PRINTK_TIME will contain at least one
entry with a time of less than 100 seconds.

Not all boards correctly reset the system timer and in many cases the
inital times reported by PRINTK_TIME is high. When this occurs the
bootchart.pl script fails to give any useful output.

This patch sets the $firsttime variable to the largest value expected
by PRINTK_TIME

While find_secsym_ndx often finds the unamed local STT_SECTION, if a
section has only one function in it, the ARM toolchain generates the
STT_FUNC symbol before the STT_SECTION, and recordmcount finds this
instead.

This is problematic on ARM because in ARM ELFs, "if a [STT_FUNC] symbol
addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the address of the
instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable object, the section
offset with bit zero set)".  This leads to incorrect mcount addresses
being recorded.

Fix this by not using STT_FUNC symbols as the base on ARM.
