Checkpatch

This tool uses the checkpatch tool, with a prexisting configuration, created for the TF-M OpenCI, to perform static checking on the developer’s machine.

The script is set by default, to mimic the configuratio of TF-M OpenCI script, but the user can extend it by adding new parameters in the checkpatch.conf file.

The script is kept simple by design, since it is aimed at be easy to maintain from a single’s user perspective

Set-up

Setting up this tool, is a simple operation of retrieving the script and its dependencies and placing them in the tf-m-toolsstatic_checkscheckpatch directory:

checkpatch.pl
const_structs.checkpatch
spelling.txt

The proccess can be automated, without any special priviledges by invoking the tf-m-tools\static_checks\checkpatch\setup.sh script.

Using the script

The user can call the tf-m-tools\static_checks\checkpatch\run_checkpatch.sh script from the {$TFM-ROOT} directory

cd $TFM-ROOT
# Only need to be run once
../tf-m-tools/static_checks/checkpatch/setup.sh
../tf-m-tools/static_checks/checkpatch/run_checkpatch.sh

Or as a part of all the tests set in the Static Checking Framework

cd $TFM-ROOT
../tf-m-tools/static_checks/run_all_checks.sh
