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/
|
|
|
|
Once you have it, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
as a regular user, and install it with
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
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: report, patch, context, and org. The mode to
|
|
use is specified by setting the MODE variable with 'MODE=<mode>'.
|
|
|
|
'report' generates a list in the following format:
|
|
file:line:column-column: message
|
|
|
|
'patch' proposes a fix, when possible.
|
|
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
subdirectories of 'scripts/coccinelle' to the entire Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
For each semantic patch, a changelog 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
subdirectories 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/err_cast.cocci
|
|
|
|
will execute the following part of the SmPL script.
|
|
|
|
<smpl>
|
|
@r depends on !context && !patch && (org || report)@
|
|
expression x;
|
|
position p;
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|

|

|
|
illustrated below:

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
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/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.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
make coccicheck MODE=context COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/err_cast.cocci
|

will execute the following part of the SmPL script.
