Hi, Thank Andrew for giving me some tips how the -mm series works. I put together a series of patches I have been working on: http://userweb.kernel.org/~chrisl/sparse-0.2-cl1/ Hopefully it will show up later at: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/chrisl/sparse/sparse-0.2-cl1/ The most interesting part is the inline function annotation. The new checker can find out inlined function usage. The interrupt checker does not depend on x86 asm instruction any more. Again, comment and feed back are always welcome. Have a nice week end. Chris origin.patch 006eff06c7adcfb0d06c6fadf6e9b64f0488b2bf URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/josh/sparse.git sizeof-incomplete Fix double semicolon in struct declare debug-checker Adding debug option for showing the linearized instruction. no-dead-instruction Disable liveness "dead" instruction by default. anon-symbol Fix core dump on anonymous symbol. instruction-buffer-size Fix core dump on huge switch ptr-allocator Make the ptrlist using the sparse allocator. annotate-inline-2 Add annotation for inline function call. show-call-symbol-addr Show symbol address in calling. malloc-checker Adding the malloc NULL pointer checker. interrupt-checker Adding the interrupt checker parse-attr Free up some special bits in modifiers.
