Merge tag 'cocci-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlawall/linux
Pull Coccinelle updates from Julia Lawall:
- Clean up a number of the semantic patches in the scripts/coccinelle
directory, particularly with respect to functions that no longer
exist in the kernel (Sang-Heon Jeon)
He and I have also done some reorganizations that improve
performance.
- Eliminate some false positives (me)
- Fix an out of date URL (相浦彰)
