Spatch seems to be wrongly linked as the following command: spatch -D report --no-show-diff --very-quiet --cocci-file ./scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/alloc_cast.cocci --no-includes --include-headers --dir . -I ./arch/mips/include -I ./arch/mips/include/generated -I ./include -I ./arch/mips/include/uapi -I ./arch/mips/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h --jobs 4 --chunksize 1 Fails with: Py.find_library: unable to find the Python library [libpython3.13m.so returned libpython3.13m.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [/usr/bin/../lib/libpython3.13m.so returned /usr/bin/../lib/libpython3.13m.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [libpython3.13.so returned libpython3.13.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [/usr/bin/../lib/libpython3.13.so returned /usr/bin/../lib/libpython3.13.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [libpython3.13m.so returned libpython3.13m.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [/usr/lib/libpython3.13m.so returned /usr/lib/libpython3.13m.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [libpython3.13.so returned libpython3.13.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] [/usr/lib/libpython3.13.so returned /usr/lib/libpython3.13.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] The command is what the kernel makefile runs when one does: make coccicheck MODE=report
Hi, Strange. I cannot reproduce this. in the kernel tree obrained from a 6.16 tarball on kernel.org: % make coccicheck MODE=report Please check for false positives in the output before submitting a patch. When using "patch" mode, carefully review the patch before submitting it. /usr/bin/spatch -D report --no-show-diff --very-quiet --cocci-file ./scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/alloc_cast.cocci --no-includes --include-headers --dir . -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated -I ./include -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h --jobs 4 --chunksize 1 fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). 15212 files match and then it starts 4 processes which I killed after several minutes, these processes have not produced any further output. What happens on your system when you execute, in the source tree of the debian package of coccinelle, ./debian/tests/cocci-demo ?
Hi! Maybe the problem is I installed sid into chroot using mmdebstrap on stable. I will try a regular install using qemu the next week. That passes, but I think it's because ./demos/simple.cocci doesn't use python. Thanks, Petr
I've been running into a similar issue in the Coccinelle CI since Trixie
became stable.

May I suggest the following command instead? That test does use Python.
$ cd coccinelle/tests/ && spatch --test ran
Expected output is:
init_defs_builtins: /usr/local/lib/coccinelle/standard.h
