-Exclude file list for xen-analysis script
-=========================================
+Exclude file list for xen scripts
+=================================
 
-The code analysis is performed on the Xen codebase for both MISRA
-checkers and static analysis checkers, there are some files however that
-needs to be removed from the findings report for various reasons (e.g.
-they are imported from external sources, they generate too many false
-positive results, etc.).
+Different Xen scripts can perform operations on the codebase to check its
+compliance for a set of rules, however Xen contains some files that are taken
+from other projects (e.g. linux) and they can't be updated to ease backporting
+fixes from their source, for this reason the file docs/misra/exclude-list.json
+is kept as a source of all these files that are external to the Xen project.
 
-For this reason the file docs/misra/exclude-list.json is used to exclude every
-entry listed in that file from the final report.
-Currently only the cppcheck analysis will use this file.
+Every entry of the file can be linked to different checkers, so that this list
+can be used by multiple scripts selecting only the required entries.
