rv: Add Runtime Verification (RV) interface

rv: Add 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:

and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.

The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current
path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/.

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 stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events
   received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher.

 "monitors/"
   Each monitor will have its one 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
     wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor.
     # cat enable
     0
