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 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:

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.

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=15363 Signed-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:

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:
