[LTP] [PATCH 0/3] tools/sparse: Add static check

[Richard Palethorpe]

Hello,

This teaches 'make check' to flag missing static keywords. Note that I
am not sure how this avoids flagging symbols only declared in header
files. However I haven't noticed any false positives and I think false
negatives will only occur when the author uses function prototypes to
reference private symbols before their definition.

The statx patch is just included to show one issue it caught.
