Subject: [PATCH v8 06/12] rv: Add sample hybrid monitor stall
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:10:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330111010.153663-7-gmonaco@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330111010.153663-1-gmonaco@redhat.com>

Add a sample monitor to showcase hybrid/timed automata.
The stall monitor identifies tasks stalled for longer than a threshold
and reacts when that happens.
