x86/bpf: Clean up non-standard comments, to make the code more readable So by chance I looked into x86 assembly in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and noticed the weird and inconsistent comment style it mistakenly learned from the networking code: /* Multi-line comment ... * ... looks like this. */ Fix this to use the standard comment style specified in Documentation/CodingStyle and used in arch/x86/ as well: /* * Multi-line comment ... * ... looks like this. */ Also, to quote Linus's ... more explicit views about this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cryptoapi/21066 > But no, the networking code picked *none* of the above sane formats. > Instead, it picked these two models that are just half-arsed > shit-for-brains: > > (no) > /* This is disgusting drug-induced > * crap, and should die > */ > > (no-no-no) > /* This is also very nasty > * and visually unbalanced */ > > Please. The networking code actually has the *worst* possible comment > style. You can literally find that (no-no-no) style, which is just > really horribly disgusting and worse than the otherwise fairly similar > (d) in pretty much every way. Also improve the comments and some other details while at it: - Don't mix same-line and previous-line comment style on otherwise identical code patterns within the same function, - capitalize 'BPF' and x86 register names consistently, - capitalize sentences consistently, - instead of 'x64' use 'x86-64': x64 is a Microsoft specific term, - use more consistent punctuation, - use standard coding style in macros as well, - fix typos and a few other minor details. Consistent coding style is not optional, at least in arch/x86/. No change in functionality.
