This semantic patch simplifies cases where the effect of the processing of
a function call's return code is just to return the result of the function
directly. It may also delete a local return flag variable, if this is no
longer used.
This was proposed by Uwe Kleine-König.

This script detects cases where BUG() follows an if condition on an
expression and replaces the if condition and BUG() with a BUG_ON having
the conditional expression of the if statement as argument.

This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated
memory when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes
a pointer to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives
in cases the sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value.

This script detects cases where ARRAY_SIZE can be used such as
where there is a division of sizeof the array by the sizeof its first
element or by any indexed element or the element type. It replaces the
division of the two sizeofs by ARRAY_SIZE.

This semantic patch looks for variables that are initialized with a
constant, are never updated, and are only used as parameter of return.
Return the constant instead of using a variable.

Failure to terminate an of_device_id table can lead to confusing
failures depending on where the compiler places the array. Add a
check to make sure these tables are terminated. Thanks to Mitchel
Humpherys for coming up with the pattern initially.

The Coccinelle script scripts/coccinelle/misc/memcpy-assign.cocci look
for opportunities to replace a call to memcpy by a struct assignment.
This patch removes memcpy-assign.cocci as it is not clear that this
convention has an impact on the generated code.

There are error-prone memcpy() that can be replaced by struct
assignment that are type-safe and much easier to read. This semantic

This semantic patch looks for semicolons that can be removed without
changing the semantics of the code. The confidence is moderate
because there are some false positives on cases like:
b/drivers/mmc/host/cb710-mmc.c:589
break;
case MMC_POWER_UP:
default:
- /* ignore */;
}
There are 37 patches accepted reported by this semantic patch and
more than 300 fixes to be applied.

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

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.

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.
