SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only + +========== +Checkpatch +========== + +Checkpatch (scripts/checkpatch.pl) is a perl script which checks for trivial +style violations in patches and optionally corrects them. Checkpatch can +also be run on file contexts and without the kernel tree. + +Checkpatch is not always right. Your judgement takes precedence over checkpatch +messages. If your code looks better with the violations, then its probably +best left alone. + + +Options +======= + +This section will describe the options checkpatch can be run with. + +Usage:: + + ./scripts/checkpatch.pl [OPTION]... [FILE]... + +Available options: + + - -q, --quiet + + Enable quiet mode. + + - -v, --verbose + Enable verbose mode. Additional verbose test descriptions are output + so as to provide information on why that particular message is shown. + + - --no-tree + + Run checkpatch without the kernel tree. + + - --no-signoff + + Disable the 'Signed-off-by' line check. The sign-off is a simple line at + the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it + or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. + + Example:: + + Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> + + Setting this flag effectively stops a message for a missing signed-off-by + line in a patch context. + + - --patch + + Treat FILE as a patch. This is the default option and need not be + explicitly specified. + + - --emacs + + Set output to emacs compile window format. This allows emacs users to jump + from the error in the compile window directly to the offending line in the + patch. + + - --terse + + Output only one line per report. + + - --showfile + + Show the diffed file position instead of the input file position. + + - -g, --git + + Treat FILE as a single commit or a git revision range. + + Single commit with: + + - <rev> + - <rev>^ + - <rev>~n + + Multiple commits with: + + - <rev1>..<rev2> + - <rev1>...<rev2> + - <rev>-<count> + + - -f, --file + + Treat FILE as a regular source file. This option must be used when running + checkpatch on source files in the kernel. + + - --subjective, --strict + + Enable stricter tests in checkpatch. By default the tests emitted as CHECK + do not activate by default. Use this flag to activate the CHECK tests. + + - --list-types + + Every message emitted by checkpatch has an associated TYPE. Add this flag + to display all the types in checkpatch. + + Note that when this flag is active, checkpatch does not read the input FILE, + and no message is emitted. Only a list of types in checkpatch is output. + + - --types TYPE(,TYPE2...) + + Only display messages with the given types. + + Example:: + + ./scripts/checkpatch.pl mypatch.patch --types EMAIL_SUBJECT,BRACES + + - --ignore TYPE(,TYPE2...) + + Checkpatch will not emit messages for the specified types. + + Example:: + + ./scripts/checkpatch.pl mypatch.patch --ignore EMAIL_SUBJECT,BRACES + + - --show-types + + By default checkpatch doesn't display the type associated with the messages. + Set this flag to show the message type in the output. + + - --max-line-length=n + + Set the max line length (default 100). If a line exceeds the specified + length, a LONG_LINE message is emitted. + + + The message level is different for patch and file contexts. For patches, + a WARNING is emitted. While a milder CHECK is emitted for files. So for + file contexts, the --strict flag must also be enabled. + + - --min-conf-desc-length=n + + Set the Kconfig entry minimum description length, if shorter, warn. + + - --tab-size=n + + Set the number of spaces for tab (default 8). + + - --root=PATH + + PATH to the kernel tree root. + + This option must be specified when invoking checkpatch from outside + the kernel root. + + - --no-summary + + Suppress the per file summary. + + - --mailback + + Only produce a report in case of Warnings or Errors. Milder Checks are + excluded from this. + + - --summary-file + + Include the filename in summary. + + - --debug KEY=[0|1] + + Turn on/off debugging of KEY, where KEY is one of 'values', 'possible', + 'type', and 'attr' (default is all off). + + - --fix + + This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature. If correctable errors exists, a file + <inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes is created which has the + automatically fixable errors corrected. + + - --fix-inplace + + EXPERIMENTAL - Similar to --fix but input file is overwritten with fixes. + + DO NOT USE this flag unless you are absolutely sure and you have a backup + in place. + + - --ignore-perl-version + + Override checking of perl version. Runtime errors maybe encountered after + enabling this flag if the perl version does not meet the minimum specified. + + - --codespell + + Use the codespell dictionary for checking spelling errors. + + - --codespellfile + + Use the specified codespell file. + Default is '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt'. + + - --typedefsfile + + Read additional types from this file. + + - --color[=WHEN] + + Use colors 'always', 'never', or only when output is a terminal ('auto'). + Default is 'auto'. + + - --kconfig-prefix=WORD + + Use WORD as a prefix for Kconfig symbols (default is `CONFIG_`). + + - -h, --help, --version + + Display the help text. + +Message Levels +============== + +Messages in checkpatch are divided into three levels. The levels of messages +in checkpatch denote the severity of the error. They are: + + - ERROR + + This is the most strict level. Messages of type ERROR must be taken + seriously as they denote things that are very likely to be wrong. + + - WARNING + + This is the next stricter level. Messages of type WARNING requires a + more careful review. But it is milder than an ERROR. + + - CHECK + + This is the mildest level.
