rv/safety_app: Add an safety_app sample
This is the sample code of a safety application that uses the watchdog as a safety monitor and the RV monitors to monitor this interaction/get feedback from kernel about the watchdog states. This tool first creates a trace instance to follow the RV events and then enables RV monitor. After that, the tool configures the watchdog and starts running the main loop. The main loop runs a use-case-specific function, like checking the system. If the system is running as expected, it pings the watchdog. After pinging the watchdog, the tool then collects trace information to see if the RV monitor received the expected events and is in a safe/safe_nwo state. For further information, run safety_app --help The safety-app specification was developed together with Gabriele Paoloni, in the context of the Linux Foundation Elisa Project.

rv/monitor: Add safe watchdog nowayout monitor
This is a simplification of the safe_wtd monitor, named safe_wtd_nwo. The difference between these two monitors is that the latter enforces the nowayout watchdog device option before opening the watchdog. In this way, once the watchdog is starts, the watchdog hardware will serve as an safety-monitor until the system shutdown. For further information, please refer to: Documentation/trace/rv/watchdog-monitor.rst The monitor specification was developed together with Gabriele Paoloni, in the context of the Linux Foundation Elisa Project.

rv/monitor: Add safe watchdog monitor
The watchdog is an essential building block for the usage of Linux in safety-critical systems because it allows the system to be monitored from an external element - the watchdog hardware, acting as a safety-monitor. A user-space application controls the watchdog device via the watchdog interface. This application, hereafter safety_app, enables the watchdog and periodically pets the watchdog upon correct completion of the safety related processing. If the safety_app, for any reason, stops pinging the watchdog, the watchdog hardware can set the system in a fail-safe state. For example, shutting the system down. Given the importance of the safety_app / watchdog hardware couple, the interaction between these software pieces also needs some sort of monitoring. In other words, "who monitors the monitor?" The safe watchdog (safe_wtd) RV monitor monitors the interaction between the safety_app and the watchdog device, enforcing the correct sequence of events that leads the system to a safe state. Furthermore, the safety_app can monitor the RV monitor by collecting the events generated by the RV monitor itself via tracing interface. In this way, closing the monitoring loop with the safety_app. To reach a safe state, the safe_wtd RV monitor requires the safety_app to: - Open the watchdog device - Start the watchdog - Set a timeout - ping at least once The RV monitor also avoids some undesired actions. For example, to have other threads to touch the watchdog. The monitor also has a set of options, enabled via kernel command line/module options. They are: - watchdog_id: the device id to monitor (default 0). - dont_stop: once enabled, do not allow the RV monitor to be stopped (default off); - safe_timeout: define a maximum safe value that an user-space application can set as the watchdog timeout (default unlimited). - check_timeout: After every ping, check if the time left in the watchdog is less than or equal to the last timeout set for the watchdog. It only works for watchdog devices that provide the get_timeleft() function (default off).

rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macros
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> 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 connecting the Formal Reaml to Linux-like code. This header file goes beyond, extending the code generation to the verification stage, generating the code to the Monitor Instance(s) level using C macros. The trace event code inspires this approach. The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis is 3-fold: - Reduces the code duplication; - Facilitates the bug fix/improvement; (but mainly:) - 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 two different types of monitor instances: - #define DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type) - #define DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type) The first declares the functions for deterministic automata monitor with per-cpu instances, and the second with per-task instances. In both cases, the name is a string that identifies the monitor, and the type is the data type used by dot2c/k on the representation of the model. For example, the model "wip" below: preempt_disable sched_waking +############+ >------------------> +################+ >------------+ -># preemptive # # non-preemptive # | +############+ <-----------------< +################+ <------------+ preempt_enable with two states and three events can be stored in a 'char' type. Considering that the preemption control is a per-cpu behavior, the monitor declaration will be: DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(wip, char); The monitor is executed by sending events to be processed via the functions presented below: da_handle_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)($(event from event enum)); da_handle_init_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)($(event from event enum)); The function da_handle_event_$(MONITOR_NAME) is the regular case, while the function da_handle_init_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)() is a special case used to synchronize the system with the model. When a monitor is enabled, it is placed in the initial state of the automata. However, the monitor does not know if the system is in the initial state. Hence, the monitor ignores events sent by sent by da_handle_event_$(MONITOR_NAME) until the function da_handle_init_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)() is called. The function da_handle_init_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)() should be used for the case in which the system generates the event is the one that returns the automata to the initial state. After receiving a da_handle_init_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)() event, the monitor will know that it is in sync with the system and hence will start processing the next events. Using the wip model as example, the events "preempt_disable" and "sched_waking" should be sent to to monitor, respectively, via: da_handle_event_wip(preempt_disable); da_handle_event_wip(sched_waking); While the event "preempt_enabled" will use: da_handle_init_event_wip(preempt_enable); To notify the monitor that the system will be returning to the initial state, so the system and the monitor should be in sync. With the monitor synthesis in place, using these headers and dot2k, the developer's work should be limited to the instrumentation of the system, increasing the confidence in the overall approach.

rv/include: Add helper functions for deterministic automata
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 occurence 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 for monitoring.

rv: Add runtime reactors interface
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: [root@f32 rv]# 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: [root@f32 rv]# cat monitors/wip/reactors [nop] panic printk [root@f32 rv]# echo panic > monitors/wip/reactors [root@f32 rv]# cat monitors/wip/reactors nop [panic] printk Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: "Paul E.

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.

ftrace: Fix assuming build time sort works for s390
To speed up the boot process, as mcount_loc needs to be sorted for ftrace to work properly, sorting it at build time is more efficient than boot up and can save milliseconds of time. Unfortunately, this change broke s390 as it will modify the mcount_loc location after the sorting takes place and will put back the unsorted locations. Since the sorting is skipped at boot up if it is believed that it was sorted at run time, ftrace can crash as its algorithms are dependent on the list being sorted. Add a new config BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that is set when BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT but not if S390 is set. Use this config to determine if sorting should take place at boot up.

tracing: Add ustring operation to filtering string pointers
Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to specify it. Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the appropriate action to read that pointer.

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode
The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating system timer latency. The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.

rtla/osnoise: Add osnoise top mode
The rtla osnoise tool is an interface for the osnoise tracer. The osnoise tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the time in a loop while with preemption, softirqs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise threads take note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of interference. The rtla osnoise top mode displays information about the periodic summary from the osnoise tracer. One example of rtla osnoise top output is: [root@alien ~]# rtla osnoise top -c 0-3 -d 1m -q -r 900000 -P F:1 Operating System Noise duration: 0 00:01:00 | time is in us CPU Period Runtime Noise % CPU Aval Max Noise Max Single HW NMI IRQ Softirq Thread 0 #58 52200000 1031 99.99802 91 60 0 0 52285 0 101 1 torvalds#59 53100000 5 99.99999 5 5 0 9 53122 0 18 2 torvalds#59 53100000 7 99.99998 7 7 0 8 53115 0 18 3 torvalds#59 53100000 8274 99.98441 277 23 0 9 53778 0 660 "rtla osnoise top --help" works and provide information about the available options.
