From: Maria Celeste Cesario <maria.celeste.cesa...@bugseng.com>

Function and macro properties contained in ECLAIR/call_properties.ecl are of
general interest: this patch moves these annotations in a generaric JSON file
in docs. In this way, they can be exploited for other purposes (i.e. 
documentation,
other tools).

Add rst file containing explanation on how to update 
function_macro_properties.json.
Add script to convert the JSON file in ECL configurations.
Remove ECLAIR/call_properties.ecl: the file is now automatically generated from
the JSON file.

Changes in v4:
- add missing script for converting the JSON file in ECL configurations;
- improve commit message;
- remove call_properties.ecs.

+Properties list for Xen
+=======================
+
+Some functions and macros are found to have properties relevant to
+the Xen codebase. For this reason, the file docs/properties.json
+contains all the needed properties.
+
+Here is an example of the properties.json file::
+
+  {
+     "version": "1.0",
+     "content": [
+        {
+           "description": ""
+           "type": "function",       // required
+           "value:": "^printk*.$",   // required
+           "properties":{
+              "pointee_write": "1..2=never",
+              "pointee_read": "",
+              "taken": ""
+              "attribute": ""
+           }
+        }
+     ]
+  }
+
+Here is an explanation of the fields inside an object of the "content" array:
+
+ - description: a brief description of why the properties apply
+ - type: this is the kind of the element called: it may be either ``macro`` or 
``function``
+ - value: must be a regex, starting with ^ and ending with $ and matching 
function fully
+   qualified name or macro name.
+ - properties: a list of properties applied to said function.
+   Possible values are:
+
+    - pointee_write: indicate the write use for call arguments that correspond 
to
+      parameters whose pointee types are non-const
+    - pointee_read: indicate the read use for call arguments that correspond to
+      parameters whose pointee types are non-const
+    - taken: indicates that the specified address arguments may be stored in 
objects
+      that persist after the function has ceased to exist (excluding the 
returned value);
+      address arguments not listed are never taken
+    - attribute: attributes a function may have. Possible values are pure, 
const and noeffect.
+
+   pointee_read and pointee_write use a specific kind of argument, structured 
as pointee_arg=rw:
+
+    - pointee_arg: argument index for callee. Index 0 refers to the return 
value,
+      the indices of the arguments start from 1. It can be either a single 
value or a range.
+    - rw: a value that's either always, maybe or never
+
+       - always: for pointee_read: argument pointee is expected to be fully 
read in the function body,
+         for pointee_write: argument pointee is fully initialized at function 
exit
+       - maybe: for pointee_read: argument pointee may be expected to be read 
in the function body,
+         for pointee_write: argument pointee may be written by function body
+       - never: for pointee_read: argument pointee is not expected to be read 
in the function body,
+         for pointee_write: argument pointee is never written by function body
