Add 'fallthrough' pseudo-keyword to enable the removal of comments
like '/* fallthrough */'.

Add a script to convert the fallthrough comments.

The script can be run over any single file or treewide.

For instance, a treewide conversion can be done using:

$ git ls-files -- '*.[ch]' | \
  xargs scripts/cvt_style.pl -o --convert=fallthrough

This currently produces:

$ git diff --shortstat
 1839 files changed, 4377 insertions(+), 4698 deletions(-)

Example fallthrough conversion produced by the script:

$ scripts/cvt_style.pl -o --convert=fallthrough arch/arm/mm/alignment.c

fallthrough may become a pseudo reserved keyword so this only use of
fallthrough is better renamed to allow it.

Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.

All switch/case blocks now must end in one of:

	break;
	fallthrough;
	goto <label>;
	return [expression];
	continue;

fallthough is gcc's __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) which was introduced
in gcc version 7..

fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.

Describe the fallthrough pseudo-keyword.

Convert the coding-style.rst example to the keyword style.
Add description and links to deprecated.rst.

Trivial tool to reformat source code in various ways.

This is an old tool that was recently updated to convert /* fallthrough */
style comments to the new pseudo-keyword fallthrough;

Typical command line use is:
    $ perl scripts/cvt_style --convert=fallthrough <file list>

Available conversions:
	all
	printk_to_pr_level
	printk_KERN_DEBUG_to_pr_debug
	dev_printk_to_dev_level
	dev_printk_KERN_DEBUG_to_dev_dbg
	sdev_printk_to_sdev_level
	sdev_printk_KERN_DEBUG_to_sdev_dbg
	coalesce_formats
	cuddle_open_brace
	cuddle_else
	deparenthesize_returns
	space_after_KERN_level
	space_after_if_while_for_switch
	space_after_for_semicolons
	space_after_comma
	space_before_pointer
	space_around_trigraph
	leading_spaces_to_tabs
	coalesce_semicolons
	remove_trailing_whitespace
	remove_whitespace_before_quoted_newline
	remove_whitespace_before_trailing_semicolon
	remove_whitespace_before_bracket
	remove_parenthesis_whitespace
	remove_single_statement_braces
	remove_whitespace_after_cast
	hoist_assigns_from_if
	convert_c99_comments
	remove_private_data_casts
	remove_static_initializations_to_0
	remove_true_false_comparisons
	remove_NULL_comparisons
	remove_trailing_if_semicolons
	network_comments
	remove_switchforwhileif_semicolons
	detab_else_return
	remove_while_while
	fallthrough
Additional conversions which may not work well:
	(enable individually or with --convert=all --broken)
	move_labels_to_column_1
	space_around_logical_tests
	space_around_assign
	space_around_arithmetic
	CamelCase_to_camel_case

Use --convert=(comma separated list)
   ie: --convert=printk_to_pr_level,coalesce_formats

Output file:
  --overwrite => write the changes to the source file
  --suffix => suffix to append to new file (default: .style)

Nits: double period, missing "r" in fallthough.

Perhaps add a short note why (empty statement warnings maybe? I don't
remember them but it was months ago so maybe it changed).

As for the commit itself: while I am sure this tool is very useful
(and certainly you put a *lot* of effort into this tool), I don't see
how it is related to the fallthrough remapping (at least the
non-fallthrough parts).

Also, we should consider whether we want more tools like this now or
simply put the efforts into moving to clang-format.

Cheers,
Miguel

Note that C17/C18 does not have [[fallthrough]]. C++17 introduced it,
as it is mentioned above. I would keep the
__attribute__((fallthrough)) -> [[fallthrough]] change you did,
though, since that is indeed the standard syntax (given the paragraph
references C++17).

I was told by Aaron Ballman (who is proposing them for C) that it is
more or less likely that it becomes standardized in C2x. However, it
is still not added to the draft (other attributes are already,
though). See N2268 and N2269:

    http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2268.pdf (fallthrough)
    http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2269.pdf
(attributes in general)

Cheers,
Miguel

It's not particularly related.

It's a 10 year old script that I just extended because it's
convenient for me.

I think I first posted it in 2011, but I started it as a
complement to checkpatch in 2010.

https://lwn.net/Articles/380161/

Doing the regexes for the fallthrough conversions took me
a couple hours.

> Also, we should consider whether we want more tools like this now or

I think clang-format could not do this sort of conversion.
Nor could coccinelle or checkpatch.

Anyway, it's not really necessary for this particular patch
to be applied, but it's a convenient way to show the script
has the capability to do fallthrough comment conversions.

I think it does conversions fairly reasonably but likely
some files could not compile without adding an #include
like:

#include <linux/compiler.h>

Interesting control flow (goto from one case to the default case, not

Have we precedent already for "pseudo keywords?"  I kind of like the
double underscore prefix we use for attributes (which this is one of),
or at least making macro's ALLCAPS as some sort of convention.
Otherwise, someone might be confused on seeing `fallthrough` sprinkled
throughout the code without knowing how it works. `__fallthough` or
`FALLTHROUGH` are maybe less surprising (and potentially easier to
grep)?  Sorry if this has already been discussed; from Miguel's link
below it looks like there used to be underscore prefixes before?

Many.  see bool vs _Bool, u32 vs uint32_t, etc.

Linus apparently (and rightly IMO) prefers
fallthrough over __fallthrough.

Interesting. I think those links might be useful to include, or drop
the section on C++ style attributes outright. Either way:

It would be cool to include the treewide onliner from your cover sheet
in this commit message, as I find myself flipping between that and
this, otherwise the recommended onliner will be lost to LKML (instead
of being lost to git log). Or in the usage comment at the top of the
script.

I think some of these could use examples of what they do. I can't read
perl (as we've previously established :P) and I'm not sure what it
means to cuddle open braces or elses, though they do sound nice.

To Miguel's comment about clang-format, it looks like you can do:

Use -style="{key: value, ...}" to set specific
                              parameters, e.g.:
                                -style="{BasedOnStyle: llvm, IndentWidth: 8}"

via: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html
which might make some nice one liners for some of these.

I'll give the script a run later this week and report back if I can
find any errors in the resulting build, as in the previous patch
series. Thanks for the work on this.

Perhaps just take this patch directly with Miguel's authorship into the
series and tweak the __fallthrough to fallthrough in subject and body.

I think this is a nice tool to add -- at the very least it serves as
infrastructure for future similar conversions. And small cleanups can be
generated from it for people looking to clean up subsystems, etc.

Another similar tool that used checkpatch and also compile
tested and created git commits was reformat_with_checkpatch

I'm still not a fan of the pseudo keyword fallthrough, but I don't have
a problem in renaming the label, so

I applied patches 1-3 to my tree just to make it easier for people to
start doing this. Maybe some people want to do the conversion on their
own subsystem rather than with a global script, but even if not, this
looks better as a "prepare for the future" series and I feel that if
we're doing the "fallthrough" thing eventually, the sooner we do the
prepwork the better.

I'm a tiny bit worried that the actual conversion is just going to
cause lots of pain for the stable people, but I'll not worry about it
_too_ much. If the stable people decide that it's too painful for them
to deal with the comment vs keyword model, they may want to backport
these three patches too.

Shouldn't a conversion script be public somewhere?
The old cvt_style script could be reduced to something like the below.

From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2019 10:34:04 -0700
Subject: [PATCH] scripts:cvt_fallthrough.pl: Add script to convert /* fallthrough */ comments

Convert /* fallthrough */ style comments to the pseudo-keyword fallthrough;
to allow clang 10 and higher to work at finding missing fallthroughs too.

Requires a git repository and this overwrites the input sources.

Run with a path like:

    ./scripts/cvt_fallthrough.pl block

and all files in the path will be converted or a specific file like:

   ./scripts/cvt_fallthrough.pl drivers/net/wireless/zydas/zd1201.c

I feel the ones that might want to do the conversion on their own are
the ones that don't necessarily trust the script.

But I don't even know if anybody does want to, I just feel it's an option.

Since I was going to pick it up, I would have signed-off-by anyway, but yeah ;P
