rm -f err.log
export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/irqf_oneshot.cocci
make coccicheck DEBUG_FILE="err.log" MODE=report SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd/arizona-irq.c
make coccicheck DEBUG_FILE="err.log" MODE=report SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd
err.log will now have the profiling information, while stdout will
provide some progress information as Coccinelle moves forward with
work.
NOTE:
DEBUG_FILE support is only supported when using coccinelle >= 1.0.2.
Currently, DEBUG_FILE support is only available to check folders, and
not single files. This is because checking a single file requires spatch
to be called twice leading to DEBUG_FILE being set both times to the same value,
giving rise to an error.
