This semantic patch simplifies cases where the effect of the processing of
a function call's return code is just to return the result of the function
directly. It may also delete a local return flag variable, if this is no
longer used.
This was proposed by Uwe Kleine-König.

Pull misc kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
"This is the non-critical part of kbuild for 3.17-rc1:
- make help hint to use make -s with make kernelrelease et al.
- moved a kbuild document to Documentation/kbuild where it belongs
- four new Coccinelle scripts, one dropped and one fixed
- new make kselftest target to run various tests on the kernel"
* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: kselftest - new make target to build and run kernel selftests
Coccinelle: Script to replace if and BUG with BUG_ON
Coccinelle: Script to detect incorrect argument to sizeof
Coccinelle: Script to use ARRAY_SIZE instead of division of two sizeofs
Coccinelle: Script to detect cast after memory allocation
coccinelle/null: solve parse error
Documentation: headers_install.txt is part of kbuild
kbuild: make -s should be used with kernelrelease/kernelversion/image_name
This script detects cases where BUG() follows an if condition on an
expression and replaces the if condition and BUG() with a BUG_ON having
the conditional expression of the if statement as argument.

This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated
memory when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes
a pointer to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives
in cases the sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value.

This script detects cases where ARRAY_SIZE can be used such as
where there is a division of sizeof the array by the sizeof its first
element or by any indexed element or the element type. It replaces the
division of the two sizeofs by ARRAY_SIZE.

This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by
kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces
drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited
cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.

devm_request_and_ioremap() was obsoleted by the commit 7509657
("lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()") and has been
deprecated for a long time. So, let's remove this function.
In addition, all usages of devm_request_and_ioremap() are also
removed.

The Coccinelle script scripts/coccinelle/misc/memcpy-assign.cocci look

This patch removes memcpy-assign.cocci as it is not clear that this
convention has an impact on the generated code.

As indicated by Sekhar in [1], there seems to be a tendency to use
IS_ERR_VALUE to check the error result for pm_runtime_* functions which
make no sense considering commit c48cd65 (ARM: OMAP: use consistent
error checking) - the error values can either be < 0 for error OR
0, 1 in cases where we have success.
So, setup a coccinelle script to help identify the same.

assignment that are type-safe and much easier to read. This semantic
patch looks for memcpy() that can be replaced by struct assignment.
