The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a
whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is
its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that
it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and
suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error
codes are used throughout the tree.
In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that
drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer
to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code
on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine
its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR().
devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new
API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards
compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the
new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function
should be removed.
A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old
devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API.
Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.

Use kmemdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation

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).

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.

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.

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.

after a test, but it is still dereferenced later.

Add a Coccinelle file to use the ERR_CAST function
Before the release 2.6.25, one had to use ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(...)) to
convert the pointer type of an error. Since then, the function
ERR_CAST has been available for that purpose.

The purpose of this semantic patch is to remove
useless casts, as mentioned in the Linux documentation.
