The things that usually go wrong:
- wp fall through: add +, e.g.
apply (wp select_wp) -> apply (wp select_wp)+
- precondition: you can remove most hoare_pre, but wpc still needs it, and
sometimes the wp instance relies on being able to fit a rule to the
current non-schematic precondition. In that case, use "including no_pre"
to switch off the automatic hoare_pre application.
- very rarely there is a schematic postcondition that interferes with the
new trivial cleanup rules, because the rest of the script assumes some
specific state afterwards (shouldn't happen in a reasonable proof, but
not all proofs are reasonable..). In that case, (wp_once ...)+ should
emulate the old behaviour precisely.
These changes to the automatons are required by:
SELFOUR-242: invert bitfield scheduler and optimise fast path
Details:
When we enter the kernel, the domain time left (ksDomainTime) is never zero.
If we entered on a timer interrupt, we may decrement it to zero before the
scheduler runs. If we do so, we set the scheduler state to choose_new_thread.
When choosing a new thread, the scheduler switches to a new domain if the
present one is required, and sets the new domain time left from domain_list
(ksDomSchedule).
When entering the kernel on a non-interrupt event, we never touch the domain
time left, which trivially preserves the new constraints.
To prove these, we had to ban a transition from kernel entry to kernel being
preempted when handling an interrupt event in InfoFlow. This is fine, as by
design handling interrupts is not meant to be preempted by interrupts.
