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.

Find duplicate field initializations. This has a high rate of false

initialization.

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

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.

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).

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 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.

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.
