get_maintainer: fix perl 5.22/5.24 deprecated/incompatible "\C" use

2015-06-26T00:00:39Z

Perl 5.22 emits a deprecated message when "\C" is used in a regex. Perl 5.24 will disallow it altogether. Fix it by using [A-Z] instead of \C. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Valdis Kletnieks Tested-by: Valdis Kletnieks Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: emit longer section headers

2015-06-26T00:00:39Z

Section headers can be quite long and some are very long and duplicated for many initial characters. The current maximum length emitted for a section header is 20 bytes (or 17 bytes then ... when the section header length is > 20). Change that length to 50 so more of the section is shown. Example new output: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/ Ariel Elior (supporter:BROADCOM BNX2X 10 GIGABIT ETHERNET DRIVER) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:BROADCOM BNX2X 10 GIGABIT ETHERNET DRIVER) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) Old: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/ Ariel Elior (supporter:BROADCOM BNX2X 10...) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:BROADCOM BNX2X 10...) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.ignore file capability

2015-06-26T00:00:39Z

Some people prefer not to be cc'd on patches. Add an ability to have a file (.get_maintainer.ignore) with names and email addresses that are excluded from being listed except when specifically listed as a maintainer in a section.

scripts: Teach get_maintainer.pl about the new "R:" tag

2014-07-08T21:47:17Z

We can now designate reviewers in the MAINTAINERS file with the new "R:" tag, so this commit teaches get_maintainers.pl to add their email addresses. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

get_maintainer: fix detection of git repository

2014-02-11T00:01:40Z

Since git v1.7.7, the .git directory can be a file when, for example, the kernel is a submodule of another git super project. So, the check "-d .git" is not working anymore in this case. Using a more generic check like "-e .git" corrects this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Richard Genoud Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: add commit author information to --rolestats

2014-01-24T00:36:56Z

get_maintainer currently uses "Signed-off-by" style lines to find interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern. Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the information provided by --rolestats. These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are selected even when there is a specified maintainer. This can have the effect of expanding the number of people that are shown as possible "maintainers" of a particular file because "authors", "added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the --max-maintainers option separate from the "commit_signers". The first "--git-max-maintainers" values of each criterion are emitted. Any "ties" are not shown. For example: (forcedeth does not have a named maintainer) Old output: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S. Miller" (commit_signer:8/10=80%) Jiri Pirko (commit_signer:2/10=20%) Patrick McHardy (commit_signer:2/10=20%) Larry Finger (commit_signer:1/10=10%) Peter Zijlstra (commit_signer:1/10=10%) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) New output: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S.

get_maintainer: use filename-only regex match for Tegra

2013-04-30T01:28:14Z

Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on the command-line using the -f option. This provides the same benefits as using a K: regex option to match a set of filenames (see commit eb90d0855b75 "get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames"), but without the disadvantage that "random" file content, such as comments, will ever match the regex. Hence, revert most of that commit. Switch the Tegra entry from using K: to N: [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix typo in docs, per Marcin] Reported-by: Marcin Slusarz Suggested-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren Acked-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames

2013-02-28T03:10:09Z

Allow K: entries in MAINTAINERS to match directly against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on the command-line using the -f option. This potentially allows fewer lines in a MAINTAINERS entry, if all the relevant files are scattered throughout the whole kernel tree, yet contain some common keyword. An example would be using an ARM SoC name as the keyword to catch all related drivers. I don't think setting exact_pattern_match_hash would be appropriate here; at least for intended Tegra use case, this feature is to ensure that all Tegra-related driver changes get Cc'd to the Tegra mailing list. Setting exact_pattern_match_hash would prevent git history parsing for e.g. S-o-b tags, which still seems like it would be useful. Hence, this flag isn't set.

get_maintainer.pl: find maintainers for removed files

2013-02-22T01:22:21Z

For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides the default linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org), as it only looks at the "+++" lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines. E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now be found: --- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h +++ /dev/null Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
