+ * This is the online Runtime Verification (RV) interface.
+ *
+ * RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical
+ * exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and
+ * theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems.
+ *
+ * RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution,
+ * comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
+ * RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the
+ * monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected
+ * events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on
+ * safety-critical systems.
+ *
+ * The development of this interface roots in the development of the
+ * paper:
+ *
+ * De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo
+ * Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In:
+ * International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods.
+ * Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332.
+ *
+ * And:

+ * and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.
+ *
+ * == Runtime monitor interface ==
+ *
+ * A monitor is the central part of the runtime verification of a system.
+ *
+ * The monitor stands in between the formal specification of the desired
+ * (or undesired) behavior, and the trace of the actual system.
+ *
+ * In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
+ * inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. A RV monitor includes a reference
+ * model of the system, a set of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor,
+ * per-task monitor, and so on), and the helper functions that glue the
+ * monitor to the system via trace. Generally, a monitor includes some form
+ * of trace output as a reaction for event parsing and exceptions,
+ * as depicted bellow:
+ *
+ * Linux +----- RV Monitor ----------------------------------+ Formal
+ * Realm | | Realm
+ * +-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
+ * | Linux kernel | | Monitor | | Reference |
+ * | Tracing | -> | Instance(s) | <- | Model |
+ * | (instrumentation) | | (verification) | | (specification) |
+ * +-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
+ * | | |
+ * | V |
+ * | +----------+ |
+ * | | Reaction | |
+ * | +--+--+--+-+ |
+ * | | | | |
+ * | | | +-> trace output ? |
+ * +------------------------|--|----------------------+
+ * | +----> panic ?
+ * +-------> <user-specified>
+ *
+ * This file implements the interface for loading RV monitors, and
+ * to control the verification session.
+ *
+ * == Registering monitors ==
+ *
+ * The struct rv_monitor defines a set of callback functions to control
+ * a verification session. For instance, when a given monitor is enabled,
+ * the "enable" callback function is called to hook the instrumentation
+ * functions to the kernel trace events. The "disable" function is called
+ * when disabling the verification session.
+ *
+ * A RV monitor is registered via:
+ * int rv_register_monitor(struct rv_monitor *monitor);
+ * And unregistered via:
+ * int rv_unregister_monitor(struct rv_monitor *monitor);
+ *
+ * == User interface ==
+ *
+ * The user interface resembles kernel tracing interface. It presents
+ * these files:
+ *
+ * "available_monitors"
+ * - List the available monitors, one per line.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ * # cat available_monitors
+ * wip
+ * wwnr
+ *
+ * "enabled_monitors"
+ * - Lists the enabled monitors, one per line;
+ * - Writing to it enables a given monitor;
+ * - Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it;
+ * - Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ * # cat enabled_monitors
+ * # echo wip > enabled_monitors
+ * # echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
+ * # cat enabled_monitors
+ * wip
+ * wwnr
+ * # echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors
+ * # cat enabled_monitors
+ * wwnr
+ * # echo > enabled_monitors
+ * # cat enabled_monitors
+ * #
+ *
+ * Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently.
+ *
+ * "monitoring_on"
+ * - It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note
+ * that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events,
+ * but stops the per-entity monitors from monitoring the events
+ * received from the instrumentation. It resembles the "tracing_on"
+ * switcher.
+ *
+ * "monitors/"
+ * Each monitor will have its own directory inside "monitors/". There
+ * the monitor specific files will be presented.
+ * The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on
+ * tracefs.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ * # cd monitors/wip/
+ * # ls
+ * desc enable
+ * # cat desc
+ * auto-generated wakeup in preemptive monitor.
+ * # cat enable
+ * 0

RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems. RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior. RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on safety-critical systems. The development of this interface roots in the development of the paper: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In: International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods. Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332. And: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020. The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/. It presents these files: "available_monitors" - List the available monitors, one per line. For example: # cat available_monitors wip wwnr "enabled_monitors" - Lists the enabled monitors, one per line; - Writing to it enables a given monitor; - Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it; - Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors. For example: # cat enabled_monitors # echo wip > enabled_monitors # echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wip wwnr # echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wwnr # echo > enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors # Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently. "monitoring_on" - It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events, but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher. "monitors/" Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There the monitor specific files will be presented. The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on tracefs. For example: # cd monitors/wip/ # ls desc enable # cat desc wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor. # cat enable 0 For further information, see the comments in the header of kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.
