[PATCH v2] automation: Add container and build jobs to run cppcheck analysis
Posted by Michal Orzel 1 year, 2 months ago
Add a debian container with cppcheck installation routine inside,
capable of performing cppcheck analysis on Xen-only build including
cross-builds for arm32 and x86_64.

Populate build jobs making use of that container to run cppcheck
analysis to produce a text report (xen-cppcheck.txt) containing the list
of all the findings.

This patch does not aim at performing any sort of bisection. Cppcheck is
imperfect and for now, our goal is to at least be aware of its reports,
so that we can compare them with the ones produced by better tools and
to be able to see how these reports change as a result of further
infrastructure improvements (e.g. exception list, rules exclusion).

Changes in v2:
 - use arm64 container instead of x86 to make pipeline faster
 - explicitly set HYPERVISOR_ONLY=y for cppcheck jobs

For convenience and own testing, I built and pushed the new container
to registry. CI pipeline including dom0less series:

I think you want to be using a mutli-FROM dockerfile here, otherwise
you're including all the intermediate build artefacts in the final image.

See debian/buster-gcc-ibt.dockerfile for an example.

That said, I'm not sure we want to be making custom containers for every
minor tweak we have on a build environment.  What's wrong with just
putting CPPCHECK in the normal container?

cppcheck is not large but needs to be built from source (as part of the
Dockerfile). So we thought it would be best to keep it separate from the
regular containers.

I don't foresee another case like cppcheck at the moment.

Also by having it separate it is clearer that this container is
"special".

I think it would be preferable to keep it in its own separate container
but it would be OK either way.
