+ * == 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:

+ *
+ * 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
+ *

+ *
+ * Runtime reactor 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.
+ *
+ * == Registering reactors ==
+ *
+ * The struct rv_reactor defines a callback function to be executed
+ * in case of a model exception happens. The callback function
+ * receives a message to be (optionally) printed before executing
+ * the reaction.
+ *
+ * A RV reactor is registered via:
+ *   int rv_register_reactor(struct rv_reactor *reactor)
+ * And unregistered via:
+ *   int rv_unregister_reactor(struct rv_reactor *reactor)
+ *
+ * These functions are exported to modules, enabling reactors to be
+ * dynamically loaded.
+ *
+ * == User interface ==
+ *
+ * The user interface resembles the kernel tracing interface and
+ * presents these files:
+ *
+ *  "available_reactors"
+ *    - List 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 an 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]
