A compact Python re-implementation of scripts/checkpatch.pl that
covers 123 check types with stable --fix and --fix-inplace support.
The script is a drop-in replacement: same CLI options, same output
format, same message types. Runs about 2x faster than the Perl
version on large patches (50k lines: <15s vs ~35s).
Style checks implemented include:
- Whitespace: TRAILING_WHITESPACE, CODE_INDENT, DOS_LINE_ENDINGS
- Spacing: SPACING, POINTER_LOCATION, OPEN_BRACE, PARENTHESIS_ALIGNMENT
- Kernel APIs: PRINTK_WITHOUT_KERN_LEVEL, AVOID_BUG, DEPRECATED_API,
STRCPY/STRNCPY/STRLCPY, USLEEP_RANGE, USE_FUNC, YIELD
- Commits: MISSING_SIGN_OFF, LONG_SUBJECT, BAD_SIGN_OFF, BAD_FIXES_TAG
- Macros: MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE, MACRO_ARG_REUSE,
MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE, MACRO_ARG_UNUSED
- Structure: BRACES, SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT, TRAILING_STATEMENTS
- Domain: CONFIG_DESCRIPTION (Kconfig), MAINTAINERS_STYLE,
UNDOCUMENTED_DT_STRING (DT)
--fix applies corrections directly to the patch file and recomputes
hunk headers. Multiple fixes on the same line are chained
iteratively.
Uses only the Python standard library; no external dependencies.
