2012-01-15scripts/coccinelle: improve the coverage of some semantic patchesJulia Lawall
This patch ensures that all semantic patches in the scripts/coccinelle directory provide the report option. Report messages that include line numbers now have the line number preceded by "line" for easier subsequent processing.

2012-01-14coccinelle: semantic patches related to devm_ functions (part 2)Julia Lawall
devm_ functions allocate memory that is to remain allocated until the device is detached. This patch checks for freeing of such memory using standard memory freeing functions. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2012-01-14coccinelle: semantic patches related to devm_ functions (part 1)Julia Lawall
devm_ functions allocate memory that is to remain allocated until the device is detached. This patch checks for opportunities for using the function devm_request_and_ioremap. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-12-03scripts/coccinelle: update for compatability with Coccinelle 0.2.4Julia Lawall
For doubleinit.cocci, Coccinelle 0.2.4 requires a comma after ... in a field list. Coccinelle also now behaves gracefully when a definition is provided for a virtual that doesn't exist, so there is no need for the semantic patch code to check for this case. Updated the documentation to reflect the fact that the best results will now be obtained with Coccinelle version 0.2.4 or later. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

2010-10-13Coccinelle: Use new comment format to explain kfree.cocciNicolas Palix
Use new comment format to separate proposed commit message and information about generated false positives Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix.work@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add misc/ifcol.cocciNicolas Palix
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.

2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add misc/doubleinit.cocciNicolas Palix
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: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add api/memdup_userNicolas Palix
Use kmemdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add api/memdup.cocciNicolas Palix

2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add free/kfree.cocciNicolas Palix
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: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add iterators/list_entry_update.cocciNicolas Palix
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 <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add iterators/itnull.cocciNicolas Palix
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).

2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add iterators/fen.cocciNicolas Palix
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: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add locks/mini_lock.cocciNicolas Palix
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 <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add locks/double_lock.cocciNicolas Palix
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 <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add locks/call_kern.cocciNicolas Palix
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.

2010-08-31Coccinelle: Move deref_null.cocci to a more appropriate directoryNicolas Palix
deref_null.cocci is moved to the 'null' directory which contains other null related rules. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add null/kmerr.cocciNicolas Palix
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: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-08-31Coccinelle: Add null/eno.cocciNicolas Palix
The various basic memory allocation functions don't return ERR_PTR Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/deref_null.cocciNicolas Palix
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: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/err_cast.cocciNicolas Palix
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.

2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/resource_size.cocciNicolas Palix
This semantic patch replaces explicit computations of resource size by a call to resource_size. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocciNicolas Palix
This semantic patch replaces a pair of calls to kmalloc and memset by a single call to kzalloc. It only looks for simple cases to avoid false positives. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/alloc/drop_kmalloc_cast.cocciNicolas Palix
The purpose of this semantic patch is to remove useless casts, as mentioned in the Linux documentation. See Chapter 14 in Documentation/CodingStyle for more information.
