 Use cppcheck to analyse Xen
 ===========================
 
-Using cppcheck integration is very simple, it requires few steps:
-
- 1) Compile Xen
- 2) call the cppcheck make target to generate a report in xml format:
-    make CPPCHECK_MISRA=y cppcheck
- 3) call the cppcheck-html make target to generate a report in xml and html
-    format:
-    make CPPCHECK_MISRA=y cppcheck-html
-
-    In case the cppcheck binaries are not in the PATH, CPPCHECK and
-    CPPCHECK_HTMLREPORT variables can be overridden with the full path to the
-    binaries:
-
-    make -C xen \
-        CPPCHECK=/path/to/cppcheck \
-        CPPCHECK_HTMLREPORT=/path/to/cppcheck-htmlreport \
-        CPPCHECK_MISRA=y \
-        cppcheck-html
-
-The output is by default in a folder named cppcheck-htmlreport, but the name
-can be changed by passing it in the CPPCHECK_HTMLREPORT_OUTDIR variable.
-
+To analyse Xen using cppcheck, please refer to the document
+xen-static-analysis.rst, section "Analyse Xen with Cppcheck".

+Analyse Xen with Cppcheck
+-------------------------
+
+Cppcheck tool is integrated in xen-analysis.py script, when using the script,
+the tool will be called on every source file compiled by the make build system.
+Here how to start the analysis with Cppcheck:
+
+ - xen-analysis.py --run-cppcheck [--cppcheck-misra] [--cppcheck-html] --
+   [optional make arguments]
+
+The command above tells the script to prepare the codebase and use Cppcheck tool
+for the analysis.
+The optional argument --cppcheck-misra activates the analysis also for MISRA
+compliance.
+The optional argument --cppcheck-html instruct cppcheck to produce an additional
+HTML report.
+
+When invoking the script for Cppcheck analysis, the followed procedure is
+similar to the one above for Coverity or Eclair, but it has some additional
+steps:
+
+ 1. This step is the same as step 1 for Coverity/Eclair.
+ 2. The cppcheck dependency are created, build directory for cppcheck analysis
+    and an header file containing internal compiler macro
+    (include/generated/compiler-def.h) are generated
+ 3. Xen compilation starts using every <additional make parameters> supplied
+    at the script invocation, but because cppcheck is not able to intercept the
+    compiled files and flags on compiler invocation, a script (cppcheck-cc.sh)
+    is passed as CC to the make system, it is a wrapper for the compiler that
+    will also execute cppcheck on every compiled file.
+ 4. After the compilation and analysis, the cppcheck report will be created
+    putting together all the cppcheck report fragments for every analysed file.
+    Cppcheck will produce a text fragment and an additional XML report fragment
+    if the script is configured to produce the HTML output.
+ 5. This step is the same as step 3 for Coverity/Eclair.

+Usage: ${0} [OPTION] ... -- <compiler arguments>
+
+This script is a wrapper for cppcheck that enables it to analyse the files that
+are the target for the build, it is used in place of a selected compiler and the
+make process will run it on every file that needs to be built.
+All the arguments passed to the original compiler are forwarded to it without
+modification, furthermore, they are used to improve the cppcheck analysis.
+
+Options:
+  --compiler=       Use this compiler for the build
+  --cppcheck-cmd=   Command line for the cppcheck analysis.
+  --cppcheck-html   Prepare for cppcheck HTML output
+  --cppcheck-plat=  Path to the cppcheck platform folder
+  --ignore-path=    This script won't run cppcheck on the files having this
+                    path, the compiler will run anyway on them. This argument
