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specifications using custom string parsing and Ply, which is no
longer maintained.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.

verification/rvgen: Add selftests

The rvgen code generator needs validation to ensure it produces correct
monitor implementations from input specifications.

Add selftests with golden reference outputs covering all monitor classes
(DA, HA, LTL) and types (global, per_cpu, per_task, per_obj), including
optional features like descriptions and parent monitors. Container
generation and error handling (missing files, invalid specifications,
missing arguments) are also validated against expected output.

tools/rv: Add selftests

The rv tool needs automated testing to catch regressions and verify
correct functionality across different usage scenarios.

Add selftests that validate monitor listing (including containers and
nested monitors), monitor execution with different configurations
(reactors, verbose output, tracing), and trace output format for both
per-task and per-cpu monitors. Error handling paths are also tested.
Tests use a shared engine for common patterns.
