Jacob Keller e754948125 coccinelle: semantic patch to check for potential struct_size calls
include/linux/overflow.h includes helper macros intended for calculating
sizes of allocations. These macros prevent accidental overflow by
saturating at SIZE_MAX.

In general when calculating such sizes use of the macros is preferred. Add
a semantic patch which can detect code patterns which can be replaced by
struct_size.

Note that I set the confidence to medium because this patch doesn't make an
attempt to ensure that the relevant array is actually a flexible array. The
struct_size macro does specifically require a flexible array. In many cases
the detected code could be refactored to a flexible array, but this is not
always possible (such as if there are multiple over-allocations).

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.
