Subject: [for-next][PATCH 06/12] rv: Add support for LTL monitors
Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2025 20:32:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710003236.377150426@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250710003156.209859354@kernel.org
From: Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de>
While attempting to implement DA monitors for some complex specifications,
deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification
language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and
error-prone.
For these cases, linear temporal logic is more suitable as the
specification language.
Add support for linear temporal logic runtime verification monitor.
