[PATCH v3] coccinelle: semantic patch to check for inappropriate do_div() calls

Wen Yang
2020-01-10T13:15:42Z

do_div() does a 64-by-32 division.
When the divisor is unsigned long, u64, or s64,
do_div() truncates it to 32 bits, this means it
can test non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
This semantic patch is inspired by Mateusz Guzik's patch:
commit b0ab99e7736a ("sched: Fix possible divide by zero in avg_atom() calculation")

v3:
- also filter out safe consts for context mode.
- cleanup code.

v2:
- add a special case for constants and checking whether the value is obviously safe and no warning is needed.
- fix 'WARNING:' twice in each case.
- extend the warning to say "consider using div64_xxx instead".
