When rv_is_container_monitor() is called on the last monitor in
rv_monitors_list, KASAN yells:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in rv_is_container_monitor+0x101/0x110
Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff97c7c798 by task setup/221
The buggy address belongs to the variable:
rv_monitors_list+0x18/0x40
This is due to list_next_entry() is called on the last entry in the list.
It wraps around to the first list_head, and the first list_head is not
embedded in struct rv_monitor_def.
Fix it by checking if the monitor is last in the list.

RV doesn't support nested monitors having children monitors themselves
and exits with the EINVAL code. However, it returns without unlocking
the rv_interface_lock.
Unlock the lock before returning from the initialisation function.

Monitors describing complex systems, such as the scheduler, can easily
grow to the point where they are just hard to understand because of the
many possible state transitions.
Often it is possible to break such descriptions into smaller monitors,
sharing some or all events. Enabling those smaller monitors concurrently
is, in fact, testing the system as if we had one single larger monitor.
Splitting models into multiple specification is not only easier to
understand, but gives some more clues when we see errors.
Add the possibility to create container monitors, whose only purpose is
to host other nested monitors. Enabling a container monitor enables all
nested ones, but it's still possible to enable nested monitors
independently.
Add the sched monitor as first container, for now empty.

While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from dot2k,
there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error prone, like
adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig.
This patch restructures the existing monitors to keep some files in the
monitor's folder itself, which can be automatically generated by future
versions of dot2k.
Monitors have now their own Kconfig and tracepoint snippets. For
simplicity, the main tracepoint definition, is moved to the RV
directory, it defines only the tracepoint classes and includes the
monitor-specific tracepoints, which reside in the monitor directory.
Tracepoints and Kconfig no longer need to be copied and adapted from
existing ones but only need to be included in the main files.
The Makefile remains untouched since there's little advantage in having
a separated Makefile for each monitor with a single line and including
it in the main RV Makefile.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:
Linux +----- RV Monitor ----------------------------------+ Formal
Realm | | Realm
+-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
| Linux kernel | | Monitor | | Reference |
| Tracing | -> | Instance(s) | <- | Model |
| (instrumentation) | | (verification) | | (specification) |
+-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
| | |
| V |
| +----------+ |
| | Reaction | |
| +--+--+--+-+ |
| | | | |
| | | +-> trace output ? |
+------------------------|--|----------------------+
| +----> panic ?
+-------> <user-specified>
Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.
The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:
- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.
This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:
- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)
The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.

A runtime monitor can cause a reaction to the detection of an
exception on the model's execution. By default, the monitors have
tracing reactions, printing the monitor output via tracepoints.
But other reactions can be added (on-demand) via this interface.
The user interface resembles the kernel tracing interface and
presents these files:
"available_reactors"
- Reading shows the available reactors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_reactors
nop
panic
printk
"reacting_on"
- It is an on/off general switch for reactors, disabling
all reactions.
"monitors/MONITOR/reactors"
- List available reactors, with the select reaction for the given
MONITOR inside []. The default one is the nop (no operation)
reactor.
- Writing the name of a reactor enables it to the given
MONITOR.
For example:
# cat monitors/wip/reactors
[nop]
panic
printk
# echo panic > monitors/wip/reactors
# cat monitors/wip/reactors
nop
[panic]
printk

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.
