[PATCH v2] xen/build: Add cppcheck and cppcheck-html make rules
Posted by Bertrand Marquis 2 years ago
cppcheck can be used to check Xen code quality.

To create a report do "make cppcheck" on a built tree adding any options
you added during the process you used to build xen (like CROSS_COMPILE
or XEN_TARGET_ARCH). This will generate an xml report xen-cppcheck.xml.

To create a html report do "make cppcheck-html" in the same way and a
full report to be seen in a browser will be generated in
cppcheck-htmlreport/index.html.

For better results it is recommended to build your own cppcheck from the
latest sources that you can find at [1].
Development and result analysis has been done with cppcheck 2.7.

The Makefile rule is searching for all C files which have been compiled
(ie which have a generated .o file) and is running cppcheck on all of
them using the current configuration of xen so only the code actually
compiled is checked.

A new tool is introduced to merge all cppcheck reports into one global
report including all findings and removing duplicates.

Some extra variables can be used to customize the report:
- CPPCHECK can be used to give the full path to the cppcheck binary to
use (default is to use the one from the standard path).
- CPPCHECK_HTMLREPORT can be used to give the full path to
cppcheck-htmlreport (default is to use the one from the standard path).

This has been tested on several arm configurations (x86 should work but
has not been tested).

Changes in v2:
- catch parsing errors during merge and tell the user to update cppcheck
- fix alignments in Makefile
- use srctree and objtree instead of BASEDIR
- remove SCTLR invalid change
- add a check of cppcheck version and mandate version 2.7 or greater
- rework the merge script to make it faster and display progress

This is better, thanks! I don't have a lot of comments as it looks
pretty OK to me already. Only one comment on the python script.

I managed to repro another stacktrace:

  CPPCHECK-MERGE xen-cppcheck.xml
 123 / 191Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tools/merge_cppcheck_reports.py", line 83, in <module>
    run()
  File "./tools/merge_cppcheck_reports.py", line 72, in run
    result = merge(files)
  File "./tools/merge_cppcheck_reports.py", line 53, in merge

    el1_location = str(el1.find('location').attrib)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'attrib'
make: *** [Makefile:685: xen-cppcheck.xml] Error 1

It must be a natural talent :-)

Should we have a try/except also here as well?

FYI I added:

    if el1.find('location') is None: return False
    if el2.find('location') is None: return False

And that solved the issue for me

You are very talented to trigger the errors (I do not have any on my side).
Anyway I will include this and make the try/except to catch any kind of errors in v3.

Thanks a lot for the deep testing :-)
