+ 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>

+/home/user/linux/crypto/xts.c:227:9-16: ERR_CAST can be used with alg
+
+
+ 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

+ 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.
