[RFC PATCH 0/4] Static analyser finding deviation

[Luca Fancellu <luca.fancellu@xxxxxxx>]

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

Luca Fancellu (4):
  xen/Makefile: add analysis-coverity and analysis-eclair
  xen/Makefile: add analysis-cppcheck and analysis-cppcheck-html
  tools/misra: fix skipped rule numbers
  xen: Justify linker script defined symbols in include/xen/kernel.h
