New description:

 Codeql [https://codeql.github.com/] is a open source static analysis tool
 Broadly speaking, the goal of this project is to use Cobra to analyze
 RTEMS source code.

 * Build and install Codeql
 * Configure Codeqlto analyze RTEMS source code and get reports
 * Document procedure
 * Evaluate Codeql output and usefulness for RTEMS Project

 If Codeql proves useful, then Codeqlwill need some work to be more
 integrated into the project. The following are bare minimum:

 * A recipe will need to be added to the RTEMS Source Builder.
 * Scripting to generate reports

 To be more effectively used, issues like the following need to be
 considered:

 * Can files or directories be ignored?
 * Flagging issues to ignore.
 * Can certain issue be turned off?
 * Are MISRA rules supported? Can RTEMS use a subset of MISRA rules that
 are supported by this tool?
 * Comparison of one run to the next. History.
 * Think creatively, can we run Codeql periodically and email everyone who
 committed if the number of issues go up?
 * etc.
