Establishing Linux Driver Verification Processes.
Establishing Linux Driver Verification Processes.
Authors
Abstract
This paper presents an initiative program aimed at enhancing Linux device driver designing and maintenance by launching a long-term process that will attend the OS kernel development. This process includes two adjacent lines of activity: 1) creation and replenishment of a repository of potential faults and errors that may occur in Linux device drivers, and 2) development and improvement of special-purpose verification tools for automatic detection of all errors specified in repository. We describe in some details both lines of activity, present an architecture of a perspective verification toolset, compare our project with similar work, and finally discuss the current state of art in Linux device driver verification.
