Linus Torvalds fdbfee9fc5 Runtime Verification updates for 7.1:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
 
   No functional changes, only less code duplication.
 
 - Add Hybrid Automata model class
 
   Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
   constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into
   account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
   assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
   scripts.
 
 - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
 
   Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
   example of automaton working with real time variables.
 
 - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
 
   The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
   automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
   events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
   states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
 
 - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
 
   Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
   objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
   are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
   instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
   monitors.
 
 - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
 
   Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
   exporting helpers.
 
 - Add nomiss deadline monitor
 
   Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
   before their deadline.
 
 - Improve rvgen error handling
 
   Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
   exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
 
 - Improve python code quality in rvgen
 
   Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
   practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(),
   remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix
   whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove
   unused imports and methods.
 
 - Fix small bugs in rvgen
 
   The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in
   validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
   check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
   and typos in comments.
 
 - rvgen refactoring
 
   Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required
   arguments directly in argparse.
 
 - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
 
   The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
   sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.
