scripts/coccinelle: Find PTR_ERR() to %pe candidates
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 Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Alexei Lazar <alazar@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/1758192227-701925-2-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
