Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Don't warn about colon termination in linker scripts
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 16:32:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YBwhqsc2TIVeid3t@chrisdown.name> (raw)
This check erroneously flags cases like the one in my recent printk
enumeration patch[0], where the spaces are syntactic, and `section:' vs.
`section :' is syntactically important:
ERROR: space prohibited before that ':' (ctx:WxW)
#258: FILE: include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:314:
+ .printk_fmts : AT(ADDR(.printk_fmts) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
