This series of patches adds a -t option to checkpatch, so it can print terse
messages one per line, in a format compatible with g/cc
(filename:linenumber:message). This format can be parsed by various tools
and editors that can help show the errors in one window and the offending
file+line in another window.
This patch series also introduces a new small shell script wrapper, called
scripts/checkfiles, that checks the compliance of source files (not in diff
format); the script can operate on any mix of files and directories
(recursively checking). For example, to check the entire Linux kernel, run:
$ ./scripts/checkfiles .
So, I ran the above script and it found nearly 1.5 million reported
warnings/errors, with drivers being the largest abuser, not surprisingly.
Here's the sorted breakdown per top-level subsystem:
32 usr
162 init
266 block
293 Documentation
471 ipc
819 mm
1115 security
1915 scripts
1948 kernel

4793 crypto
13851 net
