With the previous refactoring,

 - <asm/export.h> is a wrapper of <asm-generic/export.h>
 - <asm-generic/export.h> is a wrapper of <linux/export.h>

My hope is to replace

   #include <asm/export.h>  -->  #include <linux/export.h>

for all *.S files.

For now, adding a warning in the checkpatch.

This warns on patch context lines.
That's not something checkpatch generally does.

Likely this should use /^\+ rather than /^.

And it's nice to have --fix capability

                        if (WARN("etc...") &&
                            $fix) {
                                $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\s*#\s*include\s*\<asm\/export\.h\>/#include <linux/export.h>/;
                        }

cheers, Joe


I retract this patch series because I realized it was breaking ia64.
Please ignore this patch.

Anyway, your expert feedback about checkpatch.pl
was very appreciated. Thank you.
