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.

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. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
