 *
 * This is the online 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.
 *
 * == 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:
 *

 *                                  +-------> <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
 *
