Coccinelle has had paramap support since 1.0.2, this means
it supports --jobs, enabling built-in multithreaded functionality,
instead of needing one to script it out. Just look for --jobs
in the help output to determine if this is supported.
Also enable the load balancing to be dynamic, so that if a
thread finishes early we keep feeding it.
If --jobs is not supported we fallback to the old mechanism.
As a small example, prior to this change, on an 8-core system:
Before:
$ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci
$ time make coccicheck MODE=report
...
real 29m14.912s
user 103m1.796s
sys 0m4.464s
After:
real 16m22.435s
user 128m30.060s
sys 0m2.712s
