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.

+ *
+ * == 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

If I am not wrong, but "joke" from myself is very possible.
char buff[MAX_RV_MONITOR_NAME_SIZE + 1];
+1 is for one '\0'. The above have '\0\0'. One '\0' is enough.

Use `count > MAX_RV_MONITOR_NAME_SIZE` check the up bound.

I see isspace() that the mask `_S` is for space/lf/tab, but I do
not know if the lf stands for being able to strim the '\n'. If so
there is no problem here. if use buffer is "wip\n\n", we should
treat it the same as "wip", no?

Here invalidate message will be processed and send the read message
and get updated monitoring_on from another cpu. I feel confused
because there is half part of the memory barrier pair. But this half
way from my mind in this case has effect. This is the first time that
I know it can be synced this way. Let me guess this way.
> + return READ_ONCE(monitoring_on);

I checked the load of monitoring_on, there are three cases:
file read file write(call load self) event handler check
Store of monitoring_on: one in init rv, another is file write after
call load self.
The file is created before the turn_monitoring_on() called in
rv_init_interface(). So there may be existing the store race
at the init part. Just after the monitoring_on file created,
and other cpus do monitoring_on flips operations and at the
same time the init code do turn_monitor_on(). Or the enabled
file be writen to enable/disable monitors happening before
monitoring_on is set in init rv. That means the event handler
can be start before the monitoring_on is turned on in init rv.
The turn_monitoring_on() in rv_init_interface() is not a switcher
because it may has been beated by file flips operations before.

there will be no monitors loaded at this point during boot time.

Even if I add a lock, the value can change after the lock is unlocked before

I will have to send a v9 only fixing this because it breaks bisect.
It was caused by a last minute change... (boooh, Daniel!)
