2012-07-13scripts/coccinelle: list iterator variable semantic patchJulia Lawall
If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head, and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after the end of the iterator. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2012-07-13scripts/coccinelle: Find threaded IRQs requests which are missing IRQF_ONESHOTLars-Peter Clausen
Since commit 1c6c69525b ("genirq: Reject bogus threaded irq requests") threaded IRQs without a primary handler need to be requested with IRQF_ONESHOT, otherwise the request will fail. This semantic patch will help to statically identify (and fix) such cases.

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

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>

2010-08-31Coccinelle: 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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: 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.

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/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
