In macros it is common to declare local variables using typeof(param) in order
to ensure that side effects are only evaluated once. A consequence of this is
double textural expansion of the parameter, which can get out of hand very
quickly with nested macros.
In C23, the auto keyword has been repurposed to perform type inference.
A GCC extension, __auto_type, is now available in the new toolchain baseline
and avoids the double textural expansion.

Rule 11.1 states as following: "Conversions shall not be performed
between a pointer to a function and any other type."
This deviation from Rule 11.1 relies on both ABI definitions and compiler
implementations supported by Xen. The System V x86_64 ABI and the AArch64
ELF ABI define consistent and compatible representations (i.e., having
the same size and memory layout) for (void *), unsigned long, and function
pointers, enabling safe conversions between these types without data loss
or corruption. Additionally, GCC and Clang, faithfully implement the ABI
specifications, ensuring that the generated machine code conforms to these
guarantees. Developers must note that this behavior is not universal and
depends on platform-specific ABIs and compiler implementations.
Configure Eclair to avoid reporting violations for conversions from
unsigned long or (void *) to a function pointer.
Add a compile-time assertion into the file 'xen/common/version.c' to
confirm this conversion compatibility across X86 and ARM platforms
(assuming this file is common for them).

The conversion from a function pointer with the 'noreturn' attribute
('void noreturn (*)(...)') to a function pointer type ('void (*)(...)'
causes type incompatibility according to MISRA C Rule 11.1, which
forbids conversions between incompatible function pointer types.
The violation occurs at the call site:
smp_call_function(halt_this_cpu, NULL, 0);
where 'halt_this_cpu' with type 'void noreturn (*)(void *)' is passed to
'smp_call_function' expecting function pointer of type 'void (*)(void *)'.
The 'noreturn' attribute does not change the function calling convention
or parameter handling at runtime, making the conversion safe.
For now, configure Eclair to just treat implicit conversions that lose
the "noreturn" attribute on a function 'void (*)(void*)' as safe.

MISRA C Rule 2.1 states: "A project shall not contain unreachable code".
Functions that are non-returning and are not explicitly annotated with
the `noreturn' attribute are considered a violation of this rule.
In certain cases, some functions might be non-returning in specific build
configurations (when assertions are enabled, i.e., when `NDEBUG' is not
defined). This is due to calls to `__builtin_unreachable()' in the
expansion of the macro `ASSERT_UNREACHABLE()'.
Conversely, in builds where `NDEBUG' is defined (assertions are disabled),
the macro `ASSERT_UNREACHABLE()' expands to an empty construct
(`do { } while (0)'), which does not affect the execution flow. This allows
such functions to return normally in such builds, avoiding unreachable code.
To account for that in specific builds, the `noreturn` property of
`__builtin_unreachable()` is overridden in the ECLAIR configuration to
deviate these violations.

Both GCC and Clang support -fstack-protector feature, which add stack
canaries to functions where stack corruption is possible. This patch
makes general preparations to enable this feature on different
supported architectures:
- Added CONFIG_HAS_STACK_PROTECTOR option so each architecture
can enable this feature individually
- Added user-selectable CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR option
- Implemented code that sets up random stack canary and a basic
handler for stack protector failures
Stack guard value is initialized in two phases:
1. Pre-defined randomly-selected value.
2. Own implementation of linear congruent random number generator. It
relies on get_cycles() being available very early. If get_cycles()
returns zero, it would leave pre-defined value from the previous step.
boot_stack_chk_guard_setup() is declared as always_inline to ensure
that it will not trigger stack protector by itself. And of course,
caller should ensure that stack protection code will not be reached
later. It is possible to call the same function from an ASM code by
introducing simple trampoline in stack-protector.c, but right now
there is no use case for such trampoline.
As __stack_chk_fail() is not called by Xen source code directly, and
only called by compiler-generated code, it does not needed to be
declared separately. So we need separate MISRA deviation for it.

the compiler cannot exploit the undefined behaviour that would

To create an ECLAIR configuration that contains the list of

after a build of xen (without static analysis) is performed.
The generated file "linker_symbols.ecl" is then used as part of the
static analysis configuration.
Additional changes to the ECLAIR integration are:
- perform a build of xen without static analysis during prepare.sh
- run the scripts to generated ECL configuration during the prepare.sh,
rather than analysis.sh
- export ECLAIR_PROJECT_ROOT earlier, to allow such generation
