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>

Getting Coccinelle
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The semantic patches included in the kernel use the 'virtual rule'
|
|
feature which was introduced in Coccinelle version 0.1.11.
|
|
|
|
Coccinelle (>=0.2.0) is available through the package manager
|
|
of many distributions, e.g. :
|
|
|
|
- Debian (>=squeeze)
|
|
- Fedora (>=13)
|
|
- Ubuntu (>=10.04 Lucid Lynx)
|
|
- OpenSUSE
|
|
- Arch Linux
|
|
- NetBSD
|
|
- FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can get the latest version released from the Coccinelle homepage at
|
|
http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
|
|
|
|
Information and tips about Coccinelle are also provided on the wiki
|
|
pages at http://cocci.ekstranet.diku.dk/wiki/doku.php
|
|
|
|
Once you have it, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
as a regular user, and install it with
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
The semantic patches in the kernel will work best with Coccinelle version
|
|
0.2.4 or later. Using earlier versions may incur some parse errors in the
|
|
semantic patch code, but any results that are obtained should still be
|
|
correct.
|
|
|
|
Using Coccinelle on the Linux kernel
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A Coccinelle-specific target is defined in the top level
|
|
Makefile. This target is named 'coccicheck' and calls the 'coccicheck'
|
|
front-end in the 'scripts' directory.
|
|
|
|
Four modes are defined: patch, report, context, and org. The mode to
|
|
use is specified by setting the MODE variable with 'MODE=<mode>'.
|
|
|
|
'patch' proposes a fix, when possible.
|
|
|
|
'report' generates a list in the following format:
|
|
file:line:column-column: message
|
|
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
Note that not all semantic patches implement all modes. For easy use
|
|
of Coccinelle, the default mode is "chain" which tries the previous
|
|
modes in the order above until one succeeds.
|
|
|
|
To make a report for every semantic patch, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
make coccicheck MODE=report
|
|
|
|
NB: The 'report' mode is the default one.
|
|
|
|
To produce patches, run:
|
|
|
|
make coccicheck MODE=patch
|
|
|
|
|
|
The coccicheck target applies every semantic patch available in the
|
|
sub-directories of 'scripts/coccinelle' to the entire Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
For each semantic patch, a commit message is proposed. It gives a
|
|
description of the problem being checked by the semantic patch, and
|
|
includes a reference to Coccinelle.
|
|
|
|
As any static code analyzer, Coccinelle produces false
|
|
positives. Thus, reports must be carefully checked, and patches
|
|
reviewed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Coccinelle with a single semantic patch
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The optional make variable COCCI can be used to check a single
|
|
semantic patch. In that case, the variable must be initialized with
|
|
the name of the semantic patch to apply.
|
|
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
make coccicheck COCCI=<my_SP.cocci> MODE=patch
|
|
or
|
|
make coccicheck COCCI=<my_SP.cocci> MODE=report
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Coccinelle on (modified) files
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To apply Coccinelle on a file basis, instead of a directory basis, the
|
|
following command may be used:
|
|
|
|
make C=1 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"
|
|
|
|
To check only newly edited code, use the value 2 for the C flag, i.e.
|
|
|
|
make C=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 as shown in the previous section.
|
|
|
|
The "chain" mode is the default. You can select another one with the
|
|
MODE variable explained above.
|
|
|
|
In this mode, there is no information about semantic patches
|
|
displayed, and no commit message proposed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proposing new semantic patches
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
New semantic patches can be proposed and submitted by kernel
|
|
developers. For sake of clarity, they should be organized in the
|
|
sub-directories of 'scripts/coccinelle/'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed description of the 'report' mode
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
'report' generates a list in the following format:
|
|
file:line:column-column: message
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
|
|
make coccicheck MODE=report COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/err_cast.cocci
|
|
|
|
will execute the following part of the SmPL script.
|
|
|
|
<smpl>
|
|
@r depends on !context && !patch && (org || report)@
|
|
expression x;
|
|

|

Detailed description of the 'patch' mode
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When the 'patch' mode is available, it proposes a fix for each problem
|
|
identified.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/err_cast.cocci
|
|
|
|
will execute the following part of the SmPL script.

Detailed description of the 'context' mode
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
'context' highlights lines of interest and their context
|
|
in a diff-like style.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The diff-like output generated is NOT an applicable patch. The
|
|
intent of the 'context' mode is to highlight the important lines
|
|
(annotated with minus, '-') and gives some surrounding context
|
|
lines around. This output can be used with the diff mode of
|
|
Emacs to review the code.
|

|

|
