Questionable test result (with the software combination “Coccinelle 1.3-00083-g4093aad2d”):
Markus_Elfring@Sonne:…/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> spatch --parse-c example_by_Kees_Cook-20250317.c
…
BAD:!!!!!         u64 *rates_64 __free(kfree) = NULL;
…
maybe 10 most problematic tokens
…
NB total files = 1; perfect = 0; pbs = 1; timeout = 0; =========> 0%
nb good = 0,  nb passed = 1 =========> 12.50% passed
nb good = 0,  nb bad = 7 =========> 12.50% good or passed

Would another SmPL code variant be occasionally helpful?

@replacement@
expression THING, COUNT, GFP;
@@
-kcalloc
+kzalloc_objs
 (
-COUNT,
-sizeof(
        *THING
-      )
+, COUNT
 , GFP
 )
