Merge tag 'trace-rv-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull Real-time Verifier updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Switch LTL and DOT parsers to Lark in code generation tool
The rvgen code generation tool originally parsed DOT files and LTL specifications using custom string parsing and Ply, which is no longer maintained. The DOT parser was fragile and prone to failure on minor format variations. Both LTL and DOT parsers have been rewritten to use the Lark parsing library.
- Simplify Hybrid Automata clock variables
The clock variables in hybrid automata monitors now use a single representation of the elapsed time since the clock was reset, rather than converting between invariant and guard representations. This allows simpler code generation for the newly refactored parser.
- Generate cleanup hook for per-obj monitor
The code generation scripts now adds a cleanup function to per-obj monitors for the user to wire to the appropriate event (e.g. sched_process_exit for tasks).
- Reduce read_lock scope during per-task cleanup
Take the tasklist_lock only when necessary, that is when iterating over for_each_process_thread().
- Simplify task monitor slot management
Only rely on the slot array for per-task slot management to avoid inconsistency with the unused counter.
- Improve rvgen code robustness and templates
Use pathlib in rvgen and improve kernel path discovery. Also improve consistency across templates when generating code (e.g. author placeholder and monitor struct name).
- Update rtapp sleep monitor
Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and updating the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also switch to use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the offending (wakee) task.
- Add wakeup monitor
Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep monitor by running in the waker context and capturing its stack trace.
- Fix tools/rv exit status on failure
Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails to start because it was already running.
- Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen
Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing and execution under different configurations. Added tests for the rvgen code generator, validating generated files against expected output (golden). Tests are reachable via make check.
- Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors
Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors cannot run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption.
- Mock current in rv monitors
Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are built to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is expected when KUnit tests aren't running.
- Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand
Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an already generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing its event handlers and creating the required mock structures and initializations.
- Refine kernel verification selftests
Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and rearranged the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness. Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where negative assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to shell rules.
- Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test
A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64() instead.
- Document changes in sleep monitor
The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before scheduling as a valid wakeup. Document both.

rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitor
Add a wakeup monitor to detect a lower-priority task waking up a higher-priority task.
The rtapp/sleep monitor already detects this. However, that monitor triggers an error in the context of the wakee task and user only gets the stacktrace of that task. It is also extremely useful to get the stacktrace of the waker task, which this monitor offers. In other words, this monitor complements the rtapp/sleep monitor.
