[PATCH v2 4/5] coccicheck: document how to pass extra options to coccinelle

Show all headers | View raw

As an example show how to debug your coccinelle script.
While at it, fix the case when --profile is passed, when
--profile is used we need to ensure --very-quiet is not used.

For instance one can use:

$ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/irqf_oneshot.cocci
$ make coccicheck MODE=report SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd/arizona-irq.c
