[LTP] [PATCH 1/7] Add Sparse based checker and TST_RET/ERR check

Richard Palethorpe rpalethorpe@suse.com
Tue Jun 29 09:27:04 CEST 2021


Vendors in Sparse as a git module. Then uses it to check for stores to
TST_RET/ERR within the library.

+# Sparse based linting
+
+This tool checks LTP test and library code for common problems.
+
+## Building
+
+The bad news is you must get and build Sparse[^1]. The good news this only
+takes a minute.
+
+If you already have the Sparse source code, then do the
+following. Where `$SRC_PATH` is the path to the Sparse directory.
+
+```sh
+$ cd tools/sparse
+$ make -C $SRC_PATH -j$(nproc) # Optional
+$ make SPARSE_SRC=$SRC_PATH
+```
+If not then you can fetch it via the git submodule
+
+```sh
+$ cd tools/sparse
+$ git submodule update --init
+$ cd sparse-src
+$ make -C sparse-src -j$(nproc)
+$ make
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+It is integrated with the LTP build system. Just run `make check` or
+`make check-a_test01`, where `a_test01` is an arbitrary test
+executable or object file.
+
+[1]: Many distributions have a Sparse package. This only contains some executables. There is no shared library
