Linus Torvalds cab9de7169 Coccinelle semantic patch changes
The changes are as follows:
 
 * Update the semantic patches in the kernel that contain a URL for
   Coccinelle with a URL that is currently valid (from myself).
 
 * Add a semantic patch checking for unnecessary NULL tests on dev_{put,
   hold} functions (from Ziyang Xuan, followed bt a modification from
   myself).
 
 * Drop a semantic patch that replaces 0/1 by booleans, as this change was
   considered to be not worthwhile by some maintainers (from Steve Rostedt).
 
 * Extend an existing semantic patch with more checks for useless tests on
   variables addresses (from Jérémy Lefaure).

README

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
