[RFC V2 02/21] rv: Add runtime reactors interface

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Mon Feb 14 2022 - 06:16:08 EST


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.

The user interface resembles the kernel tracing interface and
presents these files:

"available_reactors"
- Reading shows the available reactors, one per line.

For example:
[root@f32 rv]# 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:
[root@f32 rv]# cat monitors/wip/reactors
[nop]
panic
printk
[root@f32 rv]# echo panic > monitors/wip/reactors
[root@f32 rv]# cat monitors/wip/reactors
nop
[panic]
printk

+ *
+ * A RV reactor is registered via:

+ * And unregistered via:
+ * int rv_unregister_reactor(struct rv_reactor *reactor)
+ *
+ * These functions are exported to modules, enabling reactors to be
+ * dynamically loaded.
