Setup static analysis in CI

evelikov commented 3 weeks ago

While the project has been around for decades, it would be great to run some static analsys tools on both existing code and new changes.

Focus here is CI for incoming changes. If a specific tool does not support git diff range, or filtering of files, a general sweep might be needed prior to adding to the CI.

Some tools off the top of my head:

github codeql - action
pvs-studio - github action article with free license for open source projects.
coverity - official github action... there is a dated kmod setup pulling from kernel.org
cppcheck - dozens of github actions
cpplint - cannot find any github actions
clang-tidy - dozens of github actions
clang-analyse
gcc analyze

PVS prep https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/pull/133 - we need to add link in README before they grant us free license. Fair deal IMHO.

@lucasdemarchi just sent out *a request to add me as (co)maintainer on https://scan.coverity.com/projects/kmod in order to set things up. Alternatively feel free to give it a go as you have time.
