I'll try and see how well does that work. FWIW, it does generate sane code and bulk rename itself is not hard. What I've got is in vfs.git#work.poll: smc: missing poll annotations xen: fix poll misannotation use linux/poll.h instead of asm/poll.h add EPOLLNVAL, annotate EPOLL... and event_poll->event preparation to switching ->poll() to returning EPOLL... ep_send_events_proc(): return result via esed->res annotate ep_scan_ready_list() switch users of kernel-side POLL... to EPOLL... unify {de,}mangle_poll(), get rid of kernel-side POLL... The first 7 commits are preparation, then mechanical bulk rename with for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done then consolidation of mangle_poll/demangle_poll and making those ifndef __KERNEL__ poll.h unconditional. FWIW, with the entire series applied __poll_t warnings (with CF=-D__CHECK_POLL) are down to the following: * genuine bugs in ->poll() instances, of the "return -EINVAL/-ERESTARTSYS/etc." sort - kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:643:32: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-vbi.c:632:24: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-vbi.c:637:40: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-vbi.c:647:40: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/platform/exynos-gsc/gsc-m2m.c:718:24: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/platform/s3c-camif/camif-capture.c:602:21: expected restricted __poll_t [usertype] ret drivers/media/radio/radio-wl1273.c:1099:24: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/platform/goldfish/goldfish_pipe.c:549:24: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/tty/n_r3964.c:1239:24: expected restricted __poll_t [assigned] [usertype] result drivers/uio/uio.c:505:24: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/xen/pvcalls-front.c:921:24: expected restricted __poll_t sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c:1097:24: expected restricted __poll_t sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss.c:206:24: expected restricted __poll_t * misannotation around SAA6588_CMD_POLL and struct saa6588_command - drivers/media/i2c/saa6588.c:416:35: right side has type restricted __poll_t drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c:3347:20: got restricted __poll_t [assigned] [usertype] res drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c:3350:19: expected restricted __poll_t drivers/media/pci/saa7134/saa7134-video.c:1243:16: warning: restricted __poll_t degrades to integer drivers/media/pci/saa7134/saa7134-video.c:1243:19: expected restricted __poll_t * misannotations around perf ring_buffer->poll - kernel/events/core.c:4541:24: expected restricted __poll_t [usertype] events kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:22:39: got restricted __poll_t [usertype] <noident> IOW, not much and fairly low on false positives. Are you OK with that approach? I could send a pull request for the first 7 in that series (it should be bisect-safe), then you'd run the bulk rename script just before -rc1 and apply the last one on top of that.
