This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of
new checks.

Of note:
 - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external
   assignments,
 - printf format strings including %L are reported,
 - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had
   temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to
   the loss of its test.

Andy Whitcroft (8):
      Version: 0.18
      false should trip 0 assignment checks
      tests: reinstate missing tests
      tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test
      fix extern checks for variables
      check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li
      ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content
      extern spacing

As choice dependency are now fully checked, it's quite easy to add support
for named choices. This lifts the restriction that a choice value can only
appear once, although it still has to be within the same group,

I saw this problem recently.  With this kernel-doc:

 * Note: some important info
 *
 * Note: other important info

kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash
key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info").  It is (was)
possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of
warning or error.

kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of
printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info
was lost.

One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.:

 * Note1: foo bar
 *
 * Note.2: blah zay

For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names
like this.

This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol
file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be
supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed.

When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main
kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols:
# make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module
...
Building modules, stage 2.
....
WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined!
...etc

This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When
it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning.

The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol
file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's
symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required.

This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make
variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost.

The current PNP combined card + devices module aliase can
never ever match anything, because these values are not available
all at the same time to request a module.

Instead of adding the combined alias, we add the device id's
all as individual aliases. Device id's are exported by the PNP
bus and can now properly used to request the loading of a
matching module.

The module snd-sbawe currently exports aliases, which can never
match anything:
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0045dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0044dCTL0023*
  alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0042dCTL0022*

  alias: pnp:cCTL0039dCTL0031dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:cCTL0035dCTL0031dCTL0021*

With this patch it exports only the device id's, as properly
matchable aliases:
  alias: pnp:dCTL0070*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0045*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0023*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0044*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0022*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0042*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0041*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0021*
  alias: pnp:dCTL0031*

Now, the exported value of the PNP bus can be used to autoload
a matching module:
  $ modprobe --first-time -n -v pnp:dCTL0045

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused
by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c.

The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..."
in combination with:
Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter ''

The function pointers are defined without a * i.e.
int (drv_callback)(struct request *)

The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't.

This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of
function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ?
The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c.

However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter
description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't
normally.

I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal
form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed
kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code
that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it
should not be used and will removed at some point).

This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS.  Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set.  This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters.  This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.

The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section.  This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro.  It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.

You've hit the rather subtle rules of select vs default. What happened is
that SERIO is selected to m, but SERIO_I8042 isn't selected so the default
of y is used instead.
We already had the problem in the past that select and default don't work
well together, so this patch cleans this up and makes the rule hopefully
more straightforward. Basically now the value is calculated like this:

	(value && dependency) || select

where the value is the user choice (if available and the symbol is
visible) or default.

In this case it means SERIO and SERIO_I8042 are both set to y due to their
default and if SERIO didn't had the default, then the SERIO_I8042 value
would be limited to m due to the dependency.

I tested this patch with more 10000 random configs and above case is the
only the difference that showed up, so I hope there is nothing that
depended on the old more complex and subtle rules.

Make kernel-doc warn when a function/struct/union/typedef does not contain
a properly formatted short description, such as:
 * scsi_devinfo: set up the dynamic device list
or
 * scsi_devinfo -

This warning is only generated when verbose (-v) mode is used.

Also explain the -v command line option in the -h output.

Prevent duplicate output of a Description: section when there is a "blank"
("*") line between the initial function name/description line and the
"Description:" header.

Test case:  drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c::scsi_init_devinfo().

Rob Landley hit this while he was producing SCSI kernel-doc.

I have been prime author and maintainer of block2mtd from day one, but
neither MAINTAINERS nor the module source makes this fact clear.  And while
I'm at it, update my email addresses tree-wide, as the old address
currently bounces and change my name to "joern" as unicode will likely
continue to cause trouble until the end of this century.

When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names,
kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak
symbol.

This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last
before feeding them to the kernel.  This way the kernel runtime isn't
changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed.

Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too.  So,
even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to
correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this.

Mathieu says:

  I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol
  corresponding to a specific system call address.  Unfortunately, all the
  unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol
  identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever
  non-weak symbol would be expected).  Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first
  symbol that matched.

  This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is
  one, which seems to be the expected result.
