all code is (c) Roel kluin, 2007 GNU GPL V.2.

Examples

These may require the script 'vars' below sourced, and should be called in a git tree. I simply paste them into my console (bash).

Match Unlikely(x) ?= y

git-grep -n "\(un\)\?likely$s([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)$s.="

These can be replaced with strchr:

E="\([^\"\\]\|\\[\\tnr\?'\"0bafv]\|\\[0-7]\{1,3\}\|\\[a-f0-9]\{1,2\}\|\\[A-F0-9]\{1,2\}\)"
git-grep -n "strstr$s($s$W$s,$s\"$E\"$s)"

Show module initializing functions, not using __init or similarly exit:

git-grep -n "\(void\|int\)$s[[:alnum:]_]*module_[ei][xn]it(void)" | grep -v "__[ie][xn]it"

Matches if(function) BUG():

q="${s}if$s(\($ccode$Q\)\?$L$s($ccode)$s$ccode$s)"
git-grep -n -B1 "^\($q\)\?${s}BUG($s)$s;$cendl" | grep "$q$cendl" |
grep -v "\(sizeof\|unlikely\|likely\)($ccode)" | less

A sed script to audit ioremap/iounmap balancing (can be adapted for others):

git-grep -l '[^[:alnum:]]ioremap' | while read g; do
echo "--------------------------[ $g ]--------------------------"
sed -n "/[^[:alnum:]]ioremap.*(\(.*\))/,/^[}{]$/{
s/\(.*return.*\)/\1\t\t-------return/
tp
s/\(.*goto.*\)/\1\t\t------goto/
tp
s/\(.*iounmap.*\)/\1\t\t<----/
tp
s/\(.*ioremap.*\)/\1\t\t---->/
Tp
=
:p
p
}" $g
done | less

Make sure no-one is freeing skbs with kfree instead of kfree_skb:

for f in $(git-grep -l "struct${s}sk_buff"); do
sed -n "s/^.*struct${S}sk_buff${s}\*${s}\(${V}\)$Q.*$/\1/p" $f | sort | uniq | while read n; do
sed -n "/struct${s}sk_buff${s}\*${s}${n}/,/^[{}].*$/{ /kfree(${s}${n}${s})/= }" $f | while read q; do
echo -e "kfreeing sk_buff $n at line $q in $f\n$q";
sed -n "/struct${s}sk_buff${s}\*${s}${n}/,/^[{}].*$/p" $f;
done
done
done 2>&1 | less

matches a comparison as the last argument of a function. This may be correct but it is sometimes a misplaced check (and should be placed after the parenthesis instead). Use getcalls and/or getfunc to determine whether a boolean as the last argument is correct:

h="\(([^()]*)\)\+"; 
git-grep -n -A9 ",[^);,]*="  | 
sed -n "s/^\([^\.]*\.[chsS]-[0-9]*-\|\([^\.]*\.[chsS]:[0-9]*:\)$s\)\(.*\)$/\2\3/p" |
tr "\n" "@" |
grep -o "@[^@]*$W$s(\(\([^,()]*\|$h\)*,\)\+\([^,()]*\|$h\)*[^\"]=${s}[^\",()]*)${s}[)&|]" |
tr "@\t" " " | tr -s " " | less

Find values used as a boolean instead of the more common bitwise usage:

f1="\($W${s}[&|]\|[0-9]\+${s}[&|]\|)${s}[&|]\)" # adds 2
h="\(([^()]*\(([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*[^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\)\?"
git-grep "\($f1$s$V$s$h$s\(&&\|||\|)\|?\)\|\(&&\|||\|(\)$s$V$s$h${s}[&|]$s\([0-9]*\($W\|[^0]\)[0-9]*\)\)" | 
sed -n "s/^.*\($f1$s\($V\)$s\(([^()]*)\)\?$s\(&&\|||\|)\)\|\(&&\|||\|(\)$s\($V\)$s\(([^()]*)\)\?${s}[&|]$s\([0-9]*\($W\|[^0]\)[0-9]*\)\).*$/\4\8/p" |
while read n; do
echo "$n"; 
done | 
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | while read n a; do
b=$(git-grep -n "\(\(\(if\|while\)$s(\|&&\|||\|\!\)$s$a$s\(&&\|||\|\|)?\|(\)\|\(&&\|||\|(\)$s$a$s\(&&\|||\|(\|?\)\)" |
grep -v "Kconfig")
[ -z "$b" ] && continue;
c=`echo "$b" | wc -l`
let d=$(($n/$c))
echo "----[ a=\"$a\" # used $n times as bitwise, $c times as boolean, div $d ]----"
[ $c -gt 20 ] && continue; [ $d -lt 5 ] && continue;
echo "$b"
done | less

Scripts

I called it vars, it contains some functions for kernel hacking. usage: "source path/to/vars" N.B. do not source this in a shell that you plan to use to compile a kernel ($Q is used in Makefiles as well, which will give some problems)

# (c) Roel kluin, 2008 GNU GPL V.2

# a number
export D="[0-9]\+"

# we could also use this, to match something like 1ul, floats or hexes as well:
# but the parentheses will cost one backreference for (git-)grep
export d="\([0-9]\+[uUlLfF]\?\|[0-9]\+[uU]\?[lL][lL]\?\|0x[a-f0-9]\+\|0x[A-F0-9]\+\|[0-9]\+[lL][lL][uU]\|[0-9]*\.[0-9]\+[fF]\?\)"

# can be used for a variable/function name:
export V="[A-Za-z_]\+[A-Za-z0-9_]*"

# capital: a config option/definition
export K="[A-Z]\+[A-Z0-9_]*";

# works the same as above, but also for members and arrays: one backreference
export W="$V\(\[$s$V$s\]\|\[$s$D$s\]\|\.$V\|->$V\)*"

# seperators:
export s="[[:space:]]*";
export S="[[:space:]]\+"

# useful to delimit a variable name:
export Q="[^[:alnum:]_]"

# match the end of the line, including comments: one backreference (but at eol)

To translate a module name (as listed in modprobe -l or modinfo -n module) into a kernel .config option:

mod="${1%.ko}";
dir="${1%/*}";
sed -e :a -e '/\\$/N; s/\\\n//; ta' "${dir#*/kernel/}/Makefile" | \
sed -n "s/^obj-\$(CONFIG_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))\W*+=\W*"${mod##*/}"\.o$/\1/p";

Based on Linus' script to get the email address of a maintainer, I wrote this script to get the address of a list rather than a maintainers address for mailing.

git log --since="1 year ago"  "$@" | sed -n "s/^    .[-a-z]*by: \(.*\) <.*$/\1/p" |
sort | uniq | sort -n -r | while read name; do
        sed -n "/^P:[ \t]*.*$name/,/^$/{
                s/^L:[ \t]*\(.*\)$/\1/p
        }" ./MAINTAINERS
done | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r | while read nr list; do
        tot=`grep -c "^L:\W*.*$list.*" ./MAINTAINERS`
        echo "`expr $nr / \( $tot + 1 \)` $nr $tot $list"
done | sort -r | cut -d " " -f2- | while read nr tot list; do
        echo -e "$nr/$tot Acks were commited by maintainers of list $list"
done
