Formalization of Correct Usage of Kernel Core API

by Misha for The Linux Foundation

Currently LDV tools are used to check Linux device drivers against several safety rules, each of which formally defines what is correct usage of a particular part of kernel core API. Each rule also represents one or more typical misuse of the kernel core interfaces. By the moment, the framework contains 5 rules formalized only. This project is aimed at extending number of rules supported by the framework.
