Linux kernel Coverity model file

[Manthey, Norbert]

Dear Kees,

some time ago you pointed me at the github copy of the Coverity model
that is used for the Linux kernel analysis [1].

I investigated the effect of using this model, and compared defects
reported with and without the model. Before I deep dive into
modifications, I wanted to understand whether there is a more recent
version (the current one is about 4 years old). I currently have no
access to the public linux dashboard to directly check the effect
there.

In case there is a more recent model file, can you please update the
github repository?

In case I find additions, is the following a good procedure to share
model updates? I would run an analysis on a defined Linux commit with
the current model and the proposed additions, and would report the
effect on the reported defects. Is there anything else I am missing?

Best,
Norbert
