[PATCH v4 0/3] checkpatch: handling of memory barriers

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

As part of memory barrier cleanup, this patchset
extends checkpatch to make it easier to stop
incorrect memory barrier usage.

This replaces the checkpatch patches in my series
	arch: barrier cleanup + barriers for virt
and will be included in the pull request including
the series.

changes from v3:
	rename smp_barrier_stems to barrier_stems
	as suggested by Julian Calaby.
	add (?: ... ) around a variable in regexp,
	in case we change the value later so that it matters.
changes from v2:
	address comments by Joe Perches:
	use (?: ... ) to avoid unnecessary capture groups
	rename smp_barriers to smp_barrier_stems for clarity
	add barriers before/after atomic
Changes from v1:
	catch optional\s* before () in barriers
	rewrite using qr{} instead of map

  checkpatch.pl: add missing memory barriers
  checkpatch: check for __smp outside barrier.h
  checkpatch: add virt barriers

[PATCH v4 1/3] checkpatch.pl: add missing memory barriers

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

SMP-only barriers were missing in checkpatch.pl

Refactor code slightly to make adding more variants easier.

[PATCH v4 2/3] checkpatch: check for __smp outside barrier.h

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but
it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just
because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from
using it (as happened with other arch stuff before.)

Add a checkpatch test so it will trigger a warning.

In fact it was Joe Perches that suggested it.
Sorry about the confusion.
