[PATCH v3 1/1] runchecks: Generalize make C={1,2} to support multiple checkers

From: Knut Omang
Date: Thu Jan 04 2018 - 08:46:30 EST


Add scripts/runchecks which has generic support for running
checker tools in a convenient and user friendly way that
the author hopes can contribute to rein in issues detected
by these tools in a manageable and convenient way.

scripts/runchecks provides the following basic functionality:

* Makes it possible to selectively suppress output from individual
checks on a per file or per subsystem basis.
* Unifies output and suppression input from different tools
by providing a single unified syntax and presentation for the
underlying tools in the style of "scripts/checkpatch.pl --show-types".
* Allows selective run of one, or more (or all) configured tools
for each file.

In the Makefile system, the sparse specific setup has been replaced
by setup for runchecks.

This version of runchecks together with a "global" configuration
file in "scripts/runchecks.cfg" supports sparse, checkpatch, and checkdoc,
a trivial abstraction above a call to 'kernel-doc -none'.
It also supports forwarding calls to coccicheck for coccinelle support
but this is not quite as worked through as the three other checkers,
mainly because of lack of error data as all checks pass by default
right now.

The code is designed to be easily extensible to support more checkers
as they emerge, and some generic checker support is even available
just via simple additions to "scripts/runchecks.cfg".

The runchecks program unifies configuration, processing
and output for multiple checker tools to make them
all run as part of the C=1 or C=2 option to make.

Currently with full support and unified behaviour for
sparse: sparse
checkpatch: scripts/checkpatch.pl
checkdoc: kernel-doc -none

In principle supported but not unified in output(yet):
coccinelle: scripts/coccicheck

Introduces a new documentation section titled
"Makefile support for running checkers"

Also updates documentation for the make C= option
in some other doc files, as the behaviour has
been changed to be less sparse specific and more
generic. The coccinelle documentation also had the
behaviour of C=1 and C=2 swapped.

+Makefile support for running checkers
+=====================================
+
+Tools like sparse, coccinelle, and scripts/checkpatch.pl are able to detect a
+lot of syntactic and semantic issues with the code, and are also constantly
+evolving and detecting more. In an ideal world, all source files should
+adhere to whatever rules imposed by checkpatch.pl and sparse etc. with all
+bells and whistles enabled, in a way that these checkers can be run as a reflex
+by developers (and by bots) from the top level Makefile for every changing
+source file. In the real world however there's a number of challenges:
+
+* Sometimes there are valid reasons for accepting violations of a checker
+ rule, even if that rule is a sensible one in the general case.
+* Some subsystems have different restrictions and requirements.
+ (Ideally, the number of subsystems with differing restrictions and
+ requirements will diminish over time.)
+* Similarly, the kernel contains a lot of code that predates the tools, or at
+ least some of the newer rules, and we would like these tools to evolve without
+ requiring the need to fix all issues detected with it in the same commit.
+ We also want to accommodate new tools, so that each new tool does not
+ have to reinvent its own mechanism for running checks.
+* On the other hand, we want to make sure that files that are clean
+ (to some well defined extent, such as passing checkpatch or sparse
+ with checks only for certain important types of issues) keep being so.
+
+This is the purpose of ``scripts/runchecks``.
+
+The ``runchecks`` program looks for files named ``runchecks.cfg`` in the
+``scripts`` directory, then in the directory hierarchy of the source file,
+starting from where the source file is located, searching upwards. If at least
+one such file exists in the source tree, ``runchecks`` parses a set of
+rules from it, and uses them to determine how to invoke a set of individual
+checker tools for a particular file. The kernel Makefile system supports
+this feature as an integrated part of compiling the code, using the
+``C={1,2}`` option. With::
+
+ make C=1
+
+runchecks will be invoked if the file needs to be recompiled. With ::
+
+ make C=2
+
+runchecks will be invoked for all source files, even if they do not need
+recompiling. Based on the configuration, ``runchecks`` will invoke one or
+more checkers. The number and types of checkers to run are configurable and
+can also be selected on the command line::
+
+ make C=2 CF="--run:sparse,checkpatch"
+
+If only one checker is run, any parameter that is not recognized by
+``runchecks`` itself will be forwarded to the checker. If more than one checker
+is enabled, parameters can be forwarded to a specific checker by means of
+this syntax::
+
+ make C=2 CF="--to-checkpatch:--terse"
+
+A comma separated list of parameters can be supplied if necessary.
+
+Supported syntax of the runchecks.cfg configuration file
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The ``runchecks`` configuration file chain can be used to set policies and "rein in"
+checker errors piece by piece for a particular subsystem or driver. It can
+also be used to mitigate and extend checkers that do not support
+selective suppression of all it's checks.
+
+Two classes of configuration are available. The first class is configuration
+that defines what checkers are enabled, and some logic to allow better
+suppression or a more unified output of warning messages.
+This type of configuration should go into the first accessed
+configuration file, and has been preconfigured for the currently supported
+checkers in ``scripts/runchecks.cfg``. The second class is the features for
+configuring the output of the checkers by selectively suppressing checks on
+a per file or per check basis. These typically go in the source tree in
+the directory of the source file or above. Some of the syntax is generic
+and some is only supported by some checkers.
+
+For the first class of configuration the following syntax is supported::
+
+ # comments
+ checker checkpatch [command]
+ addflags <list of extra flags and parameters>
+ cflags
+ typedef NAME <regular expression>
+ run [checker list|all]
+
+The ``checker`` command switches ``runchecks``'s attention to a particular
+checker. The following commands until the next ``checker`` statement
+apply to that particular checker. The first occurrence of ``checker``
+also serves as a potentially defining operation, if the checker name
+has not been preconfigured. In that case, a second parameter can be used
+to provide the name of the command used to run the checker.
+A full checker integration into runchecks will typically require some
+additions to runchecks, and will then have been preconfigured,
+but simple checkers might just be configured on the fly.
+
+The ``addflags`` command incrementally adds more flags and parameters to
+the command line used to invoke the checker. This applies to all
+invocations of the checker from runchecks.
+
+The ``cflags`` command forwards all the flags and options passed to
+the compiler invocation to the checker. The default is to suppress these
+parameters when invoking the checker.
+
+The ``typedef`` command adds ``NAME`` and associates it with the given regular
+expression. This expression is used to match against standard error output from
+the checker. In the kernel tree, ``NAME`` can then be used in local
+``runcheck.cfg`` files as a new named check that runchecks understands and that
+can be used with checker supported names below to selectively suppress that
+particular set of warning or error messages. This is useful to handle output
+checks for which the underlying checker does not provide any suppression. Check
+type namespaces are separate for the individual checkers. You can list the state
+of the built in and configured checker and check types with::
+
+ scripts/runchecks --list
+
+The checker implementations of the ``typedef`` command also allow runchecks to
+perform some unification of output by rewriting the output lines, and use of the
+new type names in the error output, to ease the process of updating the
+runchecks.cfg files. It also adds some limited optional color support. Having
+a unified representation of the error output also makes it much easier to do
+statistics or other operations on top of an aggregated output from several
+checkers.
+
+For the second class of configuration the following syntax is supported::
+
+ # comments
+ checker checker_name
+ except check_type [files ...]
+ pervasive check_type1 [check_type2 ...]
+ line_len <n>
+
+The ``except`` directive takes a check type such as for example
+``MACRO_ARG_REUSE``, and a set of files that should not be subject to this
+particular check type. The ``pervasive`` command disables the listed types
+of checks for all the files in the subtree. The ``except`` and
+``pervasive`` directives can be used cumulatively to add more exceptions.
+The ``line_len`` directive defines the upper bound of characters per line
+tolerated in this directory. Currently only ``checkpatch`` supports this
+command.
+
+Options when running checker programs from make
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+A make variable ``CF`` allows passing additional parameters to
+``runchecks``. You can for instance use::
+
+ make C=2 CF="--run:checkpatch --fix-inplace"
+
+to run only the ``checkpatch`` checker, and to have checkpatch try to fix
+issues it finds - *make sure you have a clean git tree and carefully review
+the output afterwards!* Combine this with selectively enabling of types of
+errors via changes under ``checker checkpatch`` to the local
+``runchecks.cfg``, and you can focus on fixing up errors subsystem or
+driver by driver on a type by type basis.
+
+By default runchecks will skip all files if a ``runchecks.cfg`` file cannot
+be found in the directory of the file or in the tree above. This is to
+allow builds with ``C=2`` to pass even for subsystems that have not yet done
+anything to rein in checker errors. At some point when all subsystems and
+drivers either have fixed all checker errors or added proper
+``runchecks.cfg`` files, this can be changed.
+Note that the runchecks.cfg file in the scripts/ directory is special, in that
+it can be present without triggering checker runs in the main kernel tree.
+
+To force runchecks to run a full run in directories/trees where runchecks
+does not find a ``runchecks.cfg`` file as well, use::
+
+ make C=2 CF="-f"
+
+If you like to see all the warnings and errors produced by the checkers, ignoring
+any runchecks.cfg files except the one under ``scripts``, you can use::
+
+ make C=2 CF="-n"
+
+or for a specific module directory::
+
+ make C=2 M=drivers/infiniband/core CF="--color -n -w"
+
+with the -w option to ``runchecks`` to suppress errors from any of the
+checkers and just continue on, and the ``--color`` option to present errors
+with colors where supported.
+
+Ever tightening checker rules
+-----------------------------
+
+Commit the changes to the relevant ``runchecks.cfg`` together with the code
+changes that fixes a particular type of issue, this will allow automatic
+checker running by default. This way we can ensure that new errors of that
+particular type do not inadvertently sneak in again! This can be done at
+any subsystem or module maintainer's discretion and at the right time
+without having to do it all at the same time.
+
+Before submitting your changes, verify that a full "make C=2" passes
+with no errors.
+
+Extending and improving checker support in ``runchecks``
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The runchecks program has been written with extensibility in mind.
+If the checker starts its reporting lines with filename:lineno, there's a
+good chance that a new checker can simply be added by adding::
+
+ checker mychecker path_to_mychecker
+
+to ``scripts/runchecks.cfg`` and suitable ``typedef`` expressions to provide
+selective suppressions of output, however it is likely that some quirks are
+needed to make the new checker behave similarly to the others, and to support
+the full set of features, such as the ``--list`` option. This is done by
+implementing a new subclass of the Checker class in ``runchecks``. This is the
+way all the available default supported checkers are implemented, and those
+relatively lean implementations could serve as examples for support for future
+checkers.

+
+The optional make variable CF can be used to pass arguments to runchecks for dispatch

+runchecks will be forwarded to sparse. If more than one tool is active, you must
+add the parameters you want sparse to get as a comma separated list prefixed by
+``--to-sparse:``. If you want sparse to be the only checker run, and you want
+some nice colored output, you can specify this as::
+
+ make C=2 CF="--run:sparse --color"
+
+This will cause sparse to be called for all files which are supported by a valid
+runchecks configuration (again see Documentation/dev-tools/runchecks.rst for

+configuration files(s), just add ``-n`` to the list of options passed to
+runchecks. This will cause runchecks to call sparse with all errors enabled for

+By default "runchecks" is set to enable all sparse errors, but you can
+configure what checks to be applied by sparse on a per file or per subsystem
+basis. With the above invocation, make will fail and stop on the first file
+encountered with sparse errors or warnings in it. If you want to continue
+anyway, you can use::

+Usage: runchecks [<options>] c_file [-- <c_parameters>]
+ - run code checkers in a conformant way.
+
+Options:
+ -h|--help List this text
+ --list List the different configured checkers and the list of interpreted check
+ types for each of them.
+ -- Separator between parameters to runchecks and compiler parameters to be
+ passed directly to the checkers.
+ --run:[checker1[,checker2..]|all]
+ Override the default set of checkers to be run for each source file. By
+ default the checkers to run will be the intersection of the checkers
+ configured by ``run`` commands in the configuration file and the
+ checkers that is actually available on the machine. Use 'all'
+ to run all the configured checkers.
+ --color Use coloring in the error and warning output. In this mode
+ output from checkers that are supported by typedefs but not
+ captured by any such will be highlighted in red to make it
+ easy to detect that a typedef rule is missing. See -t below.
+ -f Force mode: force runchecks to run a full run in directories/trees
+ where runchecks does not find a runchecks.cfg file. The default
+ behaviour is to skip running checkers in directories/trees
+ where no matching runchecks.cfg file is found either in the
+ source file directory or above.
+ -n Ignore all runchecks.cfg files except the one in scripts,
+ which are used for basic runchecks configuration. This allows
+ an easy way to run a "bare" version of checking where all
+ issues are reported, even those intended to be suppressed.
+ Implicitly enables force mode.
+ -w Behave as if 0 on exit from all checkers. Normally
+ runchecks will fail on the first checker to produce errors or
+ warnings, in fact anything that produces not suppressed
+ output on stderr. This is to make it easy to work interactively,
+ avoiding overlooking anything, but sometimes it is useful to
+ be able to produce a full report of status.
+ -t Typedef setup mode: For checkers where runchecks enable typedefs:
+ Behaves as -w except for stderr output that is not captured
+ by any typedefs. This is a convenience mode while
+ fixing/improving typedef setup. Use with --color to get red
+ output for the statements to capture with new typedefs.
+ -v Verbose output. Also enabled if called from make with V=1,
+ but it is useful to be able to only enable verbose mode for runchecks.
+ -d Debugging output - more verbose.
