Find a use after free. Values of variables may imply that some execution paths are not possible, resulting in false positives. Another source of false positives are macros such as SCTP_DBG_OBJCNT_DEC that do not actually evaluate their argument Signed-off-by:

list_for_each_entry uses its first argument to get from one element of the list to the next, so it is usually not a good idea to reassign it. The first rule finds such a reassignment and the second rule checks that there is a path from the reassignment back to the top of the loop. Signed-off-by:

Many iterators have the property that the first argument is always bound to a real list element, never NULL. False positives arise for some iterators that do not have this property, or in cases when the loop cursor is reassigned. The latter should only happen when the matched code is on the way to a loop exit (break, goto, or return). Signed-off-by:

for_each_node iterators only exit normally when the loop cursor is NULL, so there is no point to call of_node_put on the final value. Signed-off-by:

Find missing unlocks. This semantic match considers the specific case where the unlock is missing from an if branch, and there is a lock before the if and an unlock after the if. False positives are due to cases where the if branch represents a case where the function is supposed to exit with the lock held, or where there is some preceding function call that releases the lock. Signed-off-by:

Find double locks. False positives may occur when some paths cannot occur at execution, due to the values of variables, and when there is an intervening function call that releases the lock. Signed-off-by:
-
Nicolas Palix authored
Find functions that refer to GFP_KERNEL but are called with locks held. The proposed change of converting the GFP_KERNEL is not necessarily the correct one. It may be desired to unlock the lock, or to not call the function under the lock in the first place. Signed-off-by:

This semantic patch looks for kmalloc etc that are not followed by a NULL check. It only gives a report in the case where there is some error handling code later in the function, which may be helpful in determining what the error handling code for the call to kmalloc etc should be. Signed-off-by:

during a check of the current git head of the linux kernel with the static code analysis tool cppcheck (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/cppcheck/index.php?title=Main_Page) the tool discovered a resource leak in linux-2.6/scripts/dtc/fstree.c. Please refer the attached patch, that fixes the issue. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15363Signed-off-by:

This patch makes it possible to use the Coccinelle checker with the C variable of the build system. To check only newly edited code, the following command may be used: 'make C={1,2} CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"' This runs every semantic patch in scripts/coccinelle by default. The COCCI variable may additionally be used to only apply a single semantic patch. Signed-off-by:

Add a Coccinelle file to identify the dereferences of NULL variables This semantic patch identifies when a variable is known to be NULL after a test, but it is still dereferenced later. Signed-off-by:

Add a Coccinelle file to use the ERR_CAST function Before the release 2.6.25, one had to use ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(...)) to convert the pointer type of an error. Since then, the function ERR_CAST has been available for that purpose. Signed-off-by:

The purpose of this file is to document how to use Coccinelle and its spatch tool to check the Linux kernel. It gives information on where and how to retrieve Coccinelle, and how to use it with the Coccinelle scripts integrated in the Linux kernel. Signed-off-by:

A 'coccicheck' target is added. It can be called with four different modes. Each one generates a different kind of output, i.e. context, patch, org, report, according to the corresponding mode to be activated. The new target calls the 'coccicheck' front-end in the 'scripts' directory with the MODE argument. Every SmPL file in the subdirectories of 'scripts/coccinelle' is then given to the front-end and applied to the entire source tree. The four modes behave as follows: 'report' generates a list in the following format: file:line:column-column: message 'patch' proposes a fix, when possible. 'context' highlights lines of interest and their context in a diff-like style. Lines of interest are indicated with '-'. 'org' generates a report in the Org mode format of Emacs. Signed-off-by:

os user <gnusercn@gmail.com> writes: From the last comment, arch makefile will override vmlinux. It seems vmlinux will not be checked by `make'. But from my test, although `all:' will be re-defined in arch Makefile (ARM arch), vmlinux will still be checked and the commands associated will be executed. Should we use another word instead of "overridden"? Reported-by:

Quite a few Kconfig symbols contain lowercase letters. The current checkkconfigsymbols.sh code only contains A-Z in the regexp it uses to find config symbols in source code, so it comes up with the wrong symbol to look for in Kconfig files and then generates false positives when it doesn't find that wrong symbol. For example checking drivers/net generates a false positive for MAC89 because the the actual config option is MAC89x0. Fix this by also adding a-z to the regexp. Signed-off-by:

I'm looking Makefile in the -mm branch (dated 2010-04-28-16-53) and seeing what looks like a bug in the checking of scm-identifier. The "ifneq ($scm-identifier)" seems to always execute "ifeq ($(LOCALVERSION,)) ...". This patch fixes the checking of scm-identifier. Signed-off-by:

There's a button in gconfig to "Show all options", but I think normally we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt and thus can't be changed, so here I add a new button to show hidden options which have prompts. Signed-off-by:

Usage: Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird: | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to see if there is any config hidden. I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users. Exmaple: --- Tracers -*- Kernel Function Tracer - - Kernel Function Graph Tracer [*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer - - Preemption-off Latency Tracer [*] Sysprof Tracer Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find out how to make them selectable.
