Coccinelle normally works on one file at a time. If you put more file
names on the command line they will all be precessed at once, so both the
definition and use will be seen. However, it is not advisable to put the
names of all of the files of the Linux kernel on the command line. You
will run out fo memory having the representations of all of the files in
memory at the same time.
Afterwards, the choices are to use iteration (demos/iteration.cocci) to
find the definition and then find the calls.
Alternatively, if you know of some groups of files that should be treated
at once, you can put then in a file with one file per line, with the
groups separated by newlines, eg
file1
file2
file3
file4
file5
and then pass the name of this file to Coccinelle with the name
--file-groups.
