A few modifications done for consistency, such as adding the shell prompt for command line examples and trailing slash for directories. Also corrects the module include header and fixes a few grammar issues that I introduced. Signed-off-by:

A follow-up to my edit of the first 4 sections. Shift sections down by one due to the deletion of section 3; grammar corrections along with some rewording; margin width cleanup; and change EXTRA_CFLAGS -> ccflags-y. Signed-off-by:

Omit needless words and sentences; reorganize and tighten sentence structure; swap sections 2.2 and 2.3 for a more logical flow; remove section 3, therefore shifting 4->3; add to explanations; and add section on building multiple modules. Signed-off-by:

Find confusingly indented code in or after an if. An if branch should be indented. The code following an if should not be indented. Sometimes, code after an if that is indented is actually intended to be part of the if branch. This has a high rate of false positives, because Coccinelle's column calculation does not distinguish between spaces and tabs, so code that is not visually aligned may be considered to be in the same column.

Find duplicate field initializations. This has a high rate of false positives due to #ifdefs, which Coccinelle is not aware of in a structure initialization. Signed-off-by:

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:
-
Nicolas Palix authored
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:
-
Nicolas Palix authored
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:

Nicolas Palix authored
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 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:
