2025-07-28rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditionsGabriele Monaco1-53/+54
DA monitor can be accessed from multiple cores simultaneously, this is likely, for instance when dealing with per-task monitors reacting on events that do not always occur on the CPU where the task is running. This can cause race conditions where two events change the next state and we see inconsistent values. E.g.: [62] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_wakeup -> running (final) [63] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_set_state_sleepable -> sleepable [63] error_srs: 27: event sched_switch_suspend not expected in the state running In this case the monitor fails because the event on CPU 62 wins against the one on CPU 63, although the correct state should have been sleepable, since the task get suspended. Detect if the current state was modified by using try_cmpxchg while storing the next value. If it was, try again reading the current state. After a maximum number of failed retries, react by calling a special tracepoint, print on the console and reset the monitor. Remove the functions da_monitor_curr_state() and da_monitor_set_state() as they only hide the underlying implementation in this case. Monitors where this type of condition can occur must be able to account for racing events in any possible order, as we cannot know the winner.

2025-07-28rv: Add da_handle_start_run_event_ to per-task monitorsGabriele Monaco1-0/+24
The RV da_monitor API allows to start monitors in two ways: da_handle_start_event_NAME and da_handle_start_run_event_NAME. The former is used when the event is followed by the initial state of the module, so we ignore the event but we know the monitor is in the initial state and can start monitoring, the latter can be used if the event can only occur in the initial state, so we do handle the event as if the monitor was in the initial state. This latter API is defined for implicit monitors but not per-task ones. Define da_handle_start_run_event_NAME macro also for per-task monitors.

2025-07-23rv/ltl: Do not execute the Buchi automaton twice on start conditionNam Cao1-1/+3
On start condition of a Buchi automaton, the automaton is executed twice. This is fine for now, as all the current LTL operators do not care about this. But it would break the 'next' operator, which will be introduced in a follow-up patch. Prepare for the introduction of the 'next' operator, only execute the automaton once on start condition.

2025-07-09rv: Add support for LTL monitorsNam Cao1-0/+184
While attempting to implement DA monitors for some complex specifications, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and error-prone. For these cases, linear temporal logic is more suitable as the specification language. Add support for linear temporal logic runtime verification monitor.

2025-01-23rv: Reset per-task monitors also for idle tasksGabriele Monaco1-0/+4
RV per-task monitors are implemented through a monitor structure available for each task_struct. This structure is reset every time the monitor is (re-)started, to avoid inconsistencies if the monitor was activated previously. To do so, we reset the monitor on all threads using the macro for_each_process_thread. However, this macro excludes the idle tasks on each CPU. Idle tasks could be considered tasks on their own right and it should be up to the model whether to ignore them or not. Reset monitors also on the idle tasks for each present CPU whenever we reset all per-task monitors.

2022-07-30rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macrosDaniel Bristot de Oliveira1-0/+541
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.

2022-07-30rv/include: Add helper functions for deterministic automataDaniel Bristot de Oliveira1-0/+75
Formally, a deterministic automaton, denoted by G, is defined as a quintuple: G = { X, E, f, x_0, X_m } where: - X is the set of states; - E is the finite set of events; - x_0 is the initial state; - X_m (subset of X) is the set of marked states. - f : X x E -> X $ is the transition function. It defines the state transition in the occurrence of a event from E in the state X. In the special case of deterministic automata, the occurrence of the event in E in a state in X has a deterministic next state from X. An automaton can also be represented using a graphical format of vertices (nodes) and edges. The open-source tool Graphviz can produce this graphic format using the (textual) DOT language as the source code. The dot2c tool presented in this 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. Translates a deterministic automaton in the DOT format into a C source code representation that to be used for monitoring. This header file implements helper functions to facilitate the usage of the C output from dot2c/k for monitoring.
