Configurable toolset for static verification of operating systems kernel modules
Programming and Computer Software. 2015. Vol. 41. No. 1. P. 49–64.
An operating system (OS) kernel is a critical software regarding to reliability and efficiency. Quality of modern OS kernels is already high enough. However, this is not the case for kernel modules, like, for example, device drivers that, due to various reasons, have a significantly lower level of quality. One of the most critical and widespread bugs in kernel modules are violations of rules for correct usage of a kernel API. One can find all such violations in modules or can prove their correctness using static verification tools that need contract specifications describing obligations of a kernel and modules relative to each other. This paper considers present methods and toolsets for static verification of kernel modules for different OSs. A new method for static verification of Linux kernel modules is proposed. This method allows one to configure the verification process at all its stages. It is shown how it can be adapted for checking kernel components of other OSs. An architecture of a configurable toolset for static verification of Linux kernel modules that implements the proposed method is described, and results of its practical application are presented. Directions for further development of the proposed method are discussed in conclusion.

Статья является продолжением предыдущей статьи авторов, в которой строится абстрактная модель распределенной сети, содержащей только хосты и коммутаторы. Хосты предлагают пользователям пакеты определенных услуг (сервисов), сообщения (запросы) между хостами пересылаются через промежуточные узлы по правилам коммутации, и настройка узлов определяет множество путей от хоста к хосту, по которым будут пересылаться пакеты. Ситуация моделируется с использованием ...

В работе строится абстрактная модель распределенной сети, содержащей только хосты и коммутаторы, которая позволяет оценить классы задач, которые необходимо решать в такой сети, принимая во внимание, в том числе, нефункциональные параметры. Предполагается, что хосты предлагают пакеты определенных услуг (сервисов) и сообщения (запросы) между хостами пересылаются через промежуточные узлы по правилам коммутации. Правило определяет, каким соседним ...

In this paper, the problem of distributed network survivability is investigated. A distributed system is modeled by a finite connected undirected graph the nodes of which are divided into two types: hosts and switches. Hosts perform computational functions, while switches are used for message passing between hosts. The survivability of the system is understood as ...

Исследуется проблема живучести распределенных сетей. Распределенная система моделируется конечным связным неориентированным графом, вершины которого делятся на два типа: хосты и коммутаторы. Хосты выполняют вычислительные функции, а коммутаторы обеспечивают доставку сообщений между хостами. Под живучестью системы понимается ее способность выполнять свои основные функции по передаче сообщений после выхода из строя некоторых ребер графа. Решение проблемы живучести ...

The collective dynamics of spiking networks of neurons has been of central interest to both computational
neuroscience and network science. Over the past years, a new generation of neural
population models based on exact reductions (ER) of spiking networks have been developed.
However, most of these efforts have been limited to networks of neurons with simple dynamics

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge. Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

Accurate prediction of complex formulation viscosity is crucial for the lubricant industry and engineering processes. However, developing generalizable models remains challenging due to the complexity of industrial mixtures and the scarcity of public experimental data, often resulting from corporate proprietary restrictions. This study presents a machine-learning workflow for viscosity estimation from a proprietary pseudonymized dataset, ...

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely ...

Abstract
Safety-aligned language models often encode that a request is harmful yet still comply with it. We turn this gap between internal recognition and observable behavior into an inference-time defense. The proposed activation-steering method uses a multiplicative operator that amplifies the residual-stream component along a harm-recognition direction. Intervention strength scales with the model’s own assessment of ...

Maintaining plant health is crucial for crop quality, food security, and agricultural productivity. Although deep learning methods have shown strong potential for species, disease, and severity classification, most existing approaches tackle these tasks separately, failing to exploit shared representations and interdependencies among them. Furthermore, the variability of disease symptoms, such as subtle differences in size, ...
