Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] checkpatch: Add more userspace directories to is_userspace()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 12:56:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901105642.851234-2-pvorel@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901105642.851234-1-pvorel@suse.cz>
arch/ directory contains subdirectories with userspace tools (at least
arch/*/tools/ and arch/*/boot/tools/). Add check to consider any
arch/.*/tools/ subdirectory as userspace tools directory.
This helps not only to strscpy() checks but also to CamelCase checks in
the next commit to be more precise.
Follow-up: 99b70ece33d8 ("checkpatch: suppress strscpy warnings for userspace tools")
Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>

Changes v4->v5 (all by sashiko):
* Explicitly match the directory separator in new entries for
is_userspace()
