While "git am" can apply an mbox file containing multiple patches (e.g.
as created by b4[1], or a patch bundle downloaded from patchwork),
checkpatch does not have proper support for that. When operating on an
mbox, checkpatch will merge all detected tags, and complain falsely about
duplicates:
WARNING: Duplicate signature
As modifying checkpatch to reset state in between each patch is a lot of
work, a simple solution is splitting the mbox into individual patches, and
invoking checkpatch for each of them. Fortunately checkpatch can read a
patch from stdin, so the classic "formail" tool can be used to split the
mbox, and pipe all individual patches to checkpatch:
formail -s scripts/checkpatch.pl < my-mbox
However, when reading a patch file from standard input, checkpatch calls
it "Your patch", and reports its state as:
Your patch has style problems, please review.
or:
Your patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
Hence it can be difficult to identify which patches need to be reviewed
and improved.
Fix this by replacing "Your patch" by (the first line of) the email
subject, if present.
Note that "git mailsplit" can also be used to split an mbox, but it will
create individual files for each patch, thus requiring cleanup afterwards.
Formail does not have this disadvantage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
