Add a new Coccinelle script to identify places where PTR_ERR() is used
in print functions and suggest using the %pe format specifier instead.
For printing error pointers (i.e., a pointer for which IS_ERR() is true)
%pe will print a symbolic error name (e.g,. -EINVAL), opposed to the raw
errno (e.g,. -22) produced by PTR_ERR().
It also makes the code cleaner by saving a redundant call to PTR_ERR().
The script supports context, report, and org modes.
Example transformation:
printk("Error: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(ptr)); // Before
printk("Error: %pe\n", ptr); // After

Since commit cdd30ebb1b ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string
literal"), when MODULE_IMPORT_NS() is missing, 'make nsdeps' inserts
pointless code:
MODULE_IMPORT_NS("ns");
Here, "ns" is not a namespace, but the variable in the semantic patch.
It must not be quoted. Instead, a string literal must be passed to
Coccinelle.

The isomorphism neg_if_exp negates the test of a ?: conditional,
making it unnecessary to have an explicit case for a negated test
with the branches inverted.
At the same time, we can disable neg_if_exp in cases where a
different API function may be more suitable for a negated test.
Finally, in the non-patch cases, E matches an expression with
parentheses around it, so there is no need to mention ()
explicitly in the pattern. The () are still needed in the patch
cases, because we want to drop them, if they are present.

The parentheses are only needed if there is a disjunction, ie a
set of possible changes. If there is only one pattern, we can
remove these parentheses. Just like the format:

+ y
not:

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

"Simplify the device_attr_show semantic patch
Also removes an unused variable warning"
* tag 'cocci-6.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlawall/linux:
coccinelle: device_attr_show: Remove useless expression STR
include/linux/overflow.h includes helper macros intended for calculating
sizes of allocations. These macros prevent accidental overflow by
saturating at SIZE_MAX.
In general when calculating such sizes use of the macros is preferred. Add
a semantic patch which can detect code patterns which can be replaced by
struct_size.
Note that I set the confidence to medium because this patch doesn't make an
attempt to ensure that the relevant array is actually a flexible array. The
struct_size macro does specifically require a flexible array. In many cases
the detected code could be refactored to a flexible array, but this is not
always possible (such as if there are multiple over-allocations).

A common practice is to grep for "WARNING" or "ERROR" text in the report
output from a Coccinelle semantic patch script. So, include the text
"WARNING: " in the report output generated by the semantic patch for
desired filtering of the output. Also improves the readability of the
output. Here is an example of the old and new outputs reported:

The test of an expression's address does not necessarily represent the
whole condition, it may only be a part of it. Also, an expression's
address is likely to be non-zero in every test expression, not only in
if statements.
This change aims at detecting an address test in more complex conditions
and not only in if statements.

[This specific example comes from drivers/power/supply/cpcap-battery.c]

is not unsafe to reuse pos (a.k.a. d) in the code above.
