Subject: [RFC V3 01/20] rv: Add 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:

DE OLIVEIRA, Daniel Bristot, et al. 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:
   [root@f32 rv]# 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:
   [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]# echo wip > enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
   wip
   wwnr
   [root@f32 rv]# echo -wip >> enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
   wwnr
   [root@f32 rv]# echo > enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
   [root@f32 rv]#

   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, but stop the per-entity
   monitors of monitoring the events received from the system.
   It resambles 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 resambles the "events" directory on
   tracefs.

   For example:
   [root@f32 rv]# cd monitors/wip/
   [root@f32 wip]# ls
   desc  enable
   [root@f32 wip]# cat desc
   auto-generated wakeup in preemptive monitor.
   [root@f32 wip]# cat enable
   0

For further information, see the comments in the header of
kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

+ * 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:

+ *
+ * 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 "start" callback function is called to hook the instrumentation
+ * functions to the kernel trace events. The "stop" 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);
+ *
+ * These functions are exported to modules, enabling verification monitors
+ * to be dynamically loaded.
+ *
+ * == User interface ==
+ *
+ * The user interface resembles kernel tracing interface. It presents
+ * these files:
+ *
+ *  "available_monitors"
+ *    - List the available monitors, one per line.
+ *
+ *    For example:
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# 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:
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# echo wip > enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
+ *    wip
+ *    wwnr
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# echo -wip >> enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
+ *    wwnr
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# echo > enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# cat enabled_monitors
+ *    [root@f32 rv]#
+ *
+ *    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, but stop the per-entity
+ *    monitors of monitoring the events received from the system.
+ *    It resambles 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 resambles the "events" directory on
+ *    tracefs.
+ *
+ *    For example:
+ *    [root@f32 rv]# cd monitors/wip/
+ *    [root@f32 wip]# ls
+ *    desc  enable
+ *    [root@f32 wip]# cat desc
+ *    auto-generated wakeup in preemptive monitor.
+ *    [root@f32 wip]# cat enable
+ *    0
