This serie introduces a way to suppress a static analyser finding providing a
proper justification for it.
The process is explained in the docs/misra/documenting-violations.rst document
that this serie will provide.
The tools currently supported are eclair, coverity and cppcheck, but the design
is open to support many other static analysis tool.

The changes are split between the first two patches to reduce the review effort,
the first patch is introducing the deviation process for the eclair and coverity
tools, this is because their analysis system is similar.

The second patch is introducing the same deviation process for cppcheck,
modifying the current way it is called from the makefile and improving its
analysis.

The third is reverting cppcheck in the makefile.

The fourth patch is a fix for a tool used for cppcheck and the fifth patch
is an example of how a deviation can be applied for some MISRA findings.

This serie was pushed as RFC and collected many feedbacks, thank you for the
review.
In this serie to analyse the codebase, a script is used instead of integrating
the process into the makefile.

Luca Fancellu (5):
  xen/scripts: add xen-analysis.py for coverity and eclair analysis
  xen/scripts: add cppcheck tool to the xen-analysis.py script
  xen/Makefile: remove Cppcheck invocation from the Makefile
  tools/misra: fix skipped rule numbers
  xen: Justify linker script defined symbols in include/xen/kernel.h
