[PATCH] Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: scripts/checkpatch.pl

From: Alexander A. Klimov
Date: Tue Jul 07 2020 - 02:07:20 EST


Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

If there are any URLs to be removed completely or at least not HTTPSified:
Just clearly say so and I'll *undo my change*.
