The Runtime Verification (RV) interface
Subsystems (6)
v8 cover The Runtime Verification (RV) interface
Over the last years, I've been exploring the possibility of verifying the Linux kernel behavior using Runtime Verification.
Runtime Verification (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 for complex systems.
Instead of relying on a fine-grained model of a system (e.g., a re-implementation a instruction level), RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
The usage of deterministic automaton for RV is a well-established approach. In the specific case of the Linux kernel, you can check how to model complex behavior of the Linux kernel with 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.
And how efficient is this approach here:
De Oliveira, Daniel B.; De Oliveira, Romulo S.; Cucinotta, Tommaso. *A thread synchronization model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel.* Journal of Systems Architecture, 2020, 107: 101729.
tlrd: it is possible to model complex behaviors in a modular way, with an acceptable overhead (even for production systems). See this presentation at 2019's ELCE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfTuEHafNgg
Here I am proposing a more practical approach for the usage of deterministic automata for runtime verification, and it includes:
- An interface for controlling the verification;
- A tool and set of headers that enables the automatic code generation of the RV monitor (Monitor Synthesis);
- Sample monitors to evaluate the interface;
Given that RV is a tracing consumer, the code is being placed inside the tracing subsystem (Steven and I have been talking about it for a while).
Features to be added after this patchset:
- safe_wtd monitor (requires further discussion with watchdog maintainers)
- Export symbols for external modules
- dot2bpf

PATCH v8 1/16 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. 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

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.

PATCH v8 2/16 Add runtime reactors interface
In reply to Daniel Bristot de OliveiraA 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]

PATCH v8 3/16 rv/include: Add helper functions for deterministic automata
In reply to Daniel Bristot de OliveiraFormally, 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.

PATCH v8 4/16 rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macros
In reply to Daniel Bristot de OliveiraIn 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.

For example:: + + next_state = automaton_wip.function[curr_state][event]; + +Graphviz .dot format +-------------------- + +The Graphviz open-source tool can produce the graphical representation +of an automaton using the (textual) DOT language as the source code. +The DOT format is widely used and can be converted to many other formats. + +For example, this is the 'wip' model in DOT:: + + digraph state_automaton { + {node [shape = circle] "non_preemptive"}; + {node [shape = plaintext, style=invis, label=""] "__init_preemptive"}; + {node [shape = doublecircle] "preemptive"}; + {node [shape = circle] "preemptive"}; + "__init_preemptive" -> "preemptive"; + "non_preemptive" [label = "non_preemptive"]; + "non_preemptive" -> "non_preemptive" [ label = "sched_waking" ]; + "non_preemptive" -> "preemptive" [ label = "preempt_enable" ]; + "preemptive" [label = "preemptive"]; + "preemptive" -> "non_preemptive" [ label = "preempt_disable" ]; + { rank = min ; + "__init_preemptive"; + "preemptive"; + } + } + +This DOT format can be transformed into a bitmap or vectorial image +using the dot utility, or into an ASCII art using graph-easy. For +instance:: + + $ dot -Tsvg -o wip.svg wip.dot + $ graph-easy wip.dot > wip.txt + +dot2c +----- + +dot2c is a utility that can parse a .dot file containing an automaton as +in the example above and automatically convert it to the C representation +presented in [3]. + +For example, having the previous 'wip' model into a file named 'wip.dot', +the following command will transform the .dot file into the C +representation (previously shown) in the 'wip.h' file:: + + $ dot2c wip.dot > wip.h + +The 'wip.h' content is the code sample in section 'Deterministic Automaton +in C'. + +Remarks +------- + +The automata formalism allows modeling discrete event systems (DES) in +multiple formats, suitable for different applications/users. + +For example, the formal description using set theory is better suitable +for automata operations, while the graphical format for human interpretation; +and computer languages for machine execution. + +References +---------- + +Many textbooks cover automata formalism.

The difference is that the +preempt_enable event will be used to synchronize the system to the model. + +Initially, the *model* is placed in the initial state. However, the *system* +might or might not be in the initial state. The monitor cannot start +processing events until it knows that the system has reached the initial state. +Otherwise, the monitor and the system could be out-of-sync. + +Looking at the automata definition, it is possible to see that the system +and the model are expected to return to the initial state after the +preempt_enable execution. Hence, it can be used to synchronize the +system and the model at the initialization of the monitoring section. + +The start is informed via a special handle function, the +"da_handle_start_event_$(MONITOR_NAME)(event)", in this case:: + + da_handle_start_event_wip(preempt_enable_wip); + +So, the callback function will look like:: + + void handle_preempt_enable(void *data, unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip) + { + da_handle_start_event_wip(preempt_enable_wip); + } + +Finally, the "handle_sched_waking()" will look like:: + + void handle_sched_waking(void *data, struct task_struct *task) + { + da_handle_event_wip(sched_waking_wip); + } + +And the explanation is left for the reader as an exercise. + +enable and disable functions +---------------------------- + +dot2k automatically creates two special functions:: + + enable_$(MONITOR_NAME)() + disable_$(MONITOR_NAME)() + +These functions are called when the monitor is enabled and disabled, +respectively. + +They should be used to *attach* and *detach* the instrumentation to the running +system. The developer must add to the relative function all that is needed to +*attach* and *detach* its monitor to the system. + +For the wip case, these functions were named:: + + enable_wip() + disable_wip() + +But no change was required because: by default, these functions *attach* and +*detach* the tracepoints_to_attach, which was enough for this case. + +Instrumentation helpers +----------------------- + +To complete the instrumentation, the *handler functions* need to be attached to a +kernel event, at the monitoring enable phase. + +The RV interface also facilitates this step. For example, the macro "rv_attach_trace_probe()" +is used to connect the wip model events to the relative kernel event. dot2k automatically +adds "rv_attach_trace_probe()" function call for each model event in the enable phase, as +a suggestion. + +For example, from the wip sample model:: + + static int enable_wip(void) + { + int retval; + + retval = da_monitor_init_wip(); + if (retval) + return retval; + + rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", /* XXX: tracepoint */, handle_preempt_enable); + rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", /* XXX: tracepoint */, handle_sched_waking); + rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", /* XXX: tracepoint */, handle_preempt_disable); + + return 0; + } + +The probes then need to be detached at the disable phase. + +[1] The wip model is presented in:: + + Documentation/trace/rv/deterministic_automata.rst + +The wip monitor is presented in:: + + Documentation/trace/rv/da_monitor_synthesis.rst

PATCH v8 13/16 rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor
In reply to Daniel Bristot de OliveiraThe wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:
|
|
v
#==================#
H preemptive H <+
#==================# |
| |
| preempt_disable | preempt_enable
v |
sched_waking +------------------+ |
+--------------- | | |
| | non_preemptive | |
+--------------> | | -+
+------------------+The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some inconsistencies might happen.
The documentation illustrates one of these cases.

PATCH v8 14/16 rv/monitor: Add the wwnr monitor
In reply to Daniel Bristot de OliveiraPer task wakeup while not running (wwnr) monitor.
This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running in the processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a task about to sleep:
1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
2: schedule();
And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two, waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is running.
Q: Why do we need this model, so?
A: To test the reactors.
