This series adds summary reporting to the script. First we do some clean
up. Then we implement changes that were first posted as

[PATCH v4] scripts: add leaking_addresses.pl

Additionally; files (and paths) to skip is amended, thanks to Michael
Ellerman and Kees Cook.

Support for scanning PowerPC (64 bit) is added, with thanks to Michael
Ellerman.

File read timeout is added, we set the timer before parsing each
file. Suggested by Kees Cook.

$ perl scripts/leaking_addresses.pl --help

Usage: scripts/leaking_addresses.pl [OPTIONS]
Version: 0.01

Options:

	-o, --output-raw=<file>  Save results for future processing.
	-i, --input-raw=<file>   Read results from file instead of scanning.
	    --raw                Show raw results (default).
	    --suppress-dmesg     Do not show dmesg results.
	    --squash-by-path     Show one result per unique path.
	    --squash-by-filename Show one result per unique filename.
	-d, --debug              Display debugging output.
	-h, --help, --version    Display this help and exit.

Examples:

	# Scan kernel and dump raw results.
	scripts/leaking_addresses.pl

	# Scan kernel and save results to file.
	scripts/leaking_addresses.pl --output-raw scan.out

	# View summary report.
	scripts/leaking_addresses.pl --input-raw scan.out --squash-by-filename

Scans the running (64 bit) kernel for potential leaking addresses.

thanks,
Tobin.
