Subject: [RFC v3 1/4] kernel/api: introduce kernel API specification framework
Add a comprehensive framework for formally documenting kernel APIs with
inline specifications. This framework provides:
- Structured API documentation with parameter specifications, return
values, error conditions, and execution context requirements
- Runtime validation capabilities for debugging (CONFIG_KAPI_RUNTIME_CHECKS)
- Export of specifications via debugfs for tooling integration
- Support for both internal kernel APIs and system calls
The framework stores specifications in a dedicated ELF section and
provides infrastructure for:
- Compile-time validation of specifications
- Runtime querying of API documentation
- Machine-readable export formats
- Integration with existing SYSCALL_DEFINE macros
This commit introduces the core infrastructure without modifying any
existing APIs. Subsequent patches will add specifications to individual
subsystems.

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Kernel API Specification Framework (KAPI) provides a comprehensive system for
+formally documenting, validating, and introspecting kernel APIs. This framework
+addresses the long-standing challenge of maintaining accurate, machine-readable
+documentation for the thousands of internal kernel APIs and system calls.
+
+Purpose and Goals
+-----------------
+
+The framework aims to:
+
+1. **Improve API Documentation**: Provide structured, inline documentation that
+ lives alongside the code and is maintained as part of the development process.
+
+2. **Enable Runtime Validation**: Optionally validate API usage at runtime to catch
+ common programming errors during development and testing.
+
+3. **Support Tooling**: Export API specifications in machine-readable formats for
+ use by static analyzers, documentation generators, and development tools.
+
+4. **Enhance Debugging**: Provide detailed API information at runtime through debugfs
+ for debugging and introspection.
+
+5. **Formalize Contracts**: Explicitly document API contracts including parameter
+ constraints, execution contexts, locking requirements, and side effects.
+
+Architecture Overview
+=====================
+
+Components
+----------
+
+The framework consists of several key components:
+
+1. **Core Framework** (``kernel/api/kernel_api_spec.c``)
+
+ - API specification registration and storage
+ - Runtime validation engine
+ - Specification lookup and querying
+
+2. **DebugFS Interface** (``kernel/api/kapi_debugfs.c``)
+
+ - Runtime introspection via ``/sys/kernel/debug/kapi/``
+ - JSON and XML export formats
+ - Per-API detailed information
+
+3. **IOCTL Support** (``kernel/api/ioctl_validation.c``)
+
+ - Extended framework for IOCTL specifications
+ - Automatic validation wrappers
+ - Structure field validation
+
+4. **Specification Macros** (``include/linux/kernel_api_spec.h``)
+
+ - Declarative macros for API documentation
+ - Type-safe parameter specifications
+ - Context and constraint definitions
+
+Data Model
+----------
+
+The framework uses a hierarchical data model::
+
+ kernel_api_spec
+ ├── Basic Information
+ │ ├── name (API function name)
+ │ ├── version (specification version)
+ │ ├── description (human-readable description)
+ │ └── kernel_version (when API was introduced)
+ │
+ ├── Parameters (up to 16)
+ │ └── kapi_param_spec
+ │ ├── name
+ │ ├── type (int, pointer, string, etc.)
+ │ ├── direction (in, out, inout)
+ │ ├── constraints (range, mask, enum values)
+ │ └── validation rules
+ │
+ ├── Return Value
+ │ └── kapi_return_spec
+ │ ├── type
+ │ ├── success conditions
+ │ └── validation rules
+ │
+ ├── Error Conditions (up to 32)
+ │ └── kapi_error_spec
+ │ ├── error code
+ │ ├── condition description
+ │ └── recovery advice
+ │
+ ├── Execution Context
+ │ ├── allowed contexts (process, interrupt, etc.)
+ │ ├── locking requirements
+ │ └── preemption/interrupt state
+ │
+ └── Side Effects
+ ├── memory allocation
+ ├── state changes
+ └── signal handling
+
+Usage Guide
+===========
+
+Basic API Specification
+-----------------------
+
+To document a kernel API, use the specification macros in the implementation file:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/kernel_api_spec.h>
+
+ KAPI_DEFINE_SPEC(kmalloc_spec, kmalloc, "3.0")
+ KAPI_DESCRIPTION("Allocate kernel memory")
+ KAPI_PARAM(0, size, KAPI_TYPE_SIZE_T, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Number of bytes to allocate")
+ KAPI_PARAM_RANGE(0, 0, KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE)
+ KAPI_PARAM(1, flags, KAPI_TYPE_FLAGS, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Allocation flags (GFP_*)")
+ KAPI_PARAM_MASK(1, __GFP_BITS_MASK)
+ KAPI_RETURN(KAPI_TYPE_POINTER, "Pointer to allocated memory or NULL")
+ KAPI_ERROR(ENOMEM, "Out of memory")
+ KAPI_CONTEXT(KAPI_CTX_PROCESS | KAPI_CTX_SOFTIRQ | KAPI_CTX_HARDIRQ)
+ KAPI_SIDE_EFFECT("Allocates memory from kernel heap")
+ KAPI_LOCK_NOT_REQUIRED("Any lock")
+ KAPI_END_SPEC
+
+ void *kmalloc(size_t size, gfp_t flags)
+ {
+ /* Implementation */
+ }
+
+System Call Specification
+-------------------------
+
+System calls use specialized macros:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ KAPI_DEFINE_SYSCALL_SPEC(open_spec, open, "1.0")
+ KAPI_DESCRIPTION("Open a file")
+ KAPI_PARAM(0, pathname, KAPI_TYPE_USER_STRING, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Path to file")
+ KAPI_PARAM_PATH(0, PATH_MAX)
+ KAPI_PARAM(1, flags, KAPI_TYPE_FLAGS, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Open flags (O_*)")
+ KAPI_PARAM(2, mode, KAPI_TYPE_MODE_T, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "File permissions (if creating)")
+ KAPI_RETURN(KAPI_TYPE_INT, "File descriptor or -1")
+ KAPI_ERROR(EACCES, "Permission denied")
+ KAPI_ERROR(ENOENT, "File does not exist")
+ KAPI_ERROR(EMFILE, "Too many open files")
+ KAPI_CONTEXT(KAPI_CTX_PROCESS | KAPI_CTX_SLEEPABLE)
+ KAPI_SIGNAL(EINTR, "Open can be interrupted by signal")
+ KAPI_END_SYSCALL_SPEC
+
+IOCTL Specification
+-------------------
+
+IOCTLs have extended support for structure validation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ KAPI_DEFINE_IOCTL_SPEC(vidioc_querycap_spec, VIDIOC_QUERYCAP,
+ "VIDIOC_QUERYCAP",
+ sizeof(struct v4l2_capability),
+ sizeof(struct v4l2_capability),
+ "video_fops")
+ KAPI_DESCRIPTION("Query device capabilities")
+ KAPI_IOCTL_FIELD(driver, KAPI_TYPE_CHAR_ARRAY, KAPI_DIR_OUT,
+ "Driver name", 16)
+ KAPI_IOCTL_FIELD(card, KAPI_TYPE_CHAR_ARRAY, KAPI_DIR_OUT,
+ "Device name", 32)
+ KAPI_IOCTL_FIELD(version, KAPI_TYPE_U32, KAPI_DIR_OUT,
+ "Driver version")
+ KAPI_IOCTL_FIELD(capabilities, KAPI_TYPE_FLAGS, KAPI_DIR_OUT,
+ "Device capabilities")
+ KAPI_END_IOCTL_SPEC
+
+Runtime Validation
+==================
+
+Enabling Validation
+-------------------
+
+Runtime validation is controlled by kernel configuration:
+
+1. Enable ``CONFIG_KAPI_SPEC`` to build the framework
+2. Enable ``CONFIG_KAPI_RUNTIME_CHECKS`` for runtime validation
+3. Optionally enable ``CONFIG_KAPI_SPEC_DEBUGFS`` for debugfs interface
+
+Validation Modes
+----------------
+
+The framework supports several validation modes:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Enable validation for specific API */
+ kapi_enable_validation("kmalloc");
+
+ /* Enable validation for all APIs */
+ kapi_enable_all_validation();
+
+ /* Set validation level */
+ kapi_set_validation_level(KAPI_VALIDATE_FULL);
+
+Validation Levels:
+
+- ``KAPI_VALIDATE_NONE``: No validation
+- ``KAPI_VALIDATE_BASIC``: Type and NULL checks only
+- ``KAPI_VALIDATE_NORMAL``: Basic + range and constraint checks
+- ``KAPI_VALIDATE_FULL``: All checks including custom validators
+
+Custom Validators
+-----------------
+
+APIs can register custom validation functions:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static bool validate_buffer_size(const struct kapi_param_spec *spec,
+ const void *value, void *context)
+ {
+ size_t size = *(size_t *)value;
+ struct my_context *ctx = context;
+
+ return size > 0 && size <= ctx->max_buffer_size;
+ }
+
+ KAPI_PARAM_CUSTOM_VALIDATOR(0, validate_buffer_size)
+
+DebugFS Interface
+=================
+
+The debugfs interface provides runtime access to API specifications:
+
+Directory Structure
+-------------------
+
+::
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/kapi/
+ ├── apis/ # All registered APIs
+ │ ├── kmalloc/
+ │ │ ├── specification # Human-readable spec
+ │ │ ├── json # JSON format
+ │ │ └── xml # XML format
+ │ └── open/
+ │ └── ...
+ ├── summary # Overview of all APIs
+ ├── validation/ # Validation controls
+ │ ├── enabled # Global enable/disable
+ │ ├── level # Validation level
+ │ └── stats # Validation statistics
+ └── export/ # Bulk export options
+ ├── all.json # All specs in JSON
+ └── all.xml # All specs in XML
+
+Usage Examples
+--------------
+
+Query specific API::
+
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kapi/apis/kmalloc/specification
+ API: kmalloc
+ Version: 3.0
+ Description: Allocate kernel memory
+
+ Parameters:
+ [0] size (size_t, in): Number of bytes to allocate
+ Range: 0 - 4194304
+ [1] flags (flags, in): Allocation flags (GFP_*)
+ Mask: 0x1ffffff
+
+ Returns: pointer - Pointer to allocated memory or NULL
+
+ Errors:
+ ENOMEM: Out of memory
+
+ Context: process, softirq, hardirq
+
+ Side Effects:
+ - Allocates memory from kernel heap
+
+Export all specifications::
+
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kapi/export/all.json > kernel-apis.json
+
+Enable validation for specific API::
+
+ $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kapi/apis/kmalloc/validate
+
+Performance Considerations
+==========================
+
+Memory Overhead
+---------------
+
+Each API specification consumes approximately 2-4KB of memory. With thousands
+of kernel APIs, this can add up to several megabytes. Consider:
+
+1. Building with ``CONFIG_KAPI_SPEC=n`` for production kernels
+2. Using ``__init`` annotations for APIs only used during boot
+3. Implementing lazy loading for rarely used specifications
+
+Runtime Overhead
+----------------
+
+When ``CONFIG_KAPI_RUNTIME_CHECKS`` is enabled:
+
+- Each validated API call adds 50-200ns overhead
+- Complex validations (custom validators) may add more
+- Use validation only in development/testing kernels
+
+Optimization Strategies
+-----------------------
+
+1. **Compile-time optimization**: When validation is disabled, all
+ validation code is optimized away by the compiler.
+
+2. **Selective validation**: Enable validation only for specific APIs
+ or subsystems under test.
+
+3. **Caching**: The framework caches validation results for repeated
+ calls with identical parameters.
+
+Documentation Generation
+------------------------
+
+The framework exports specifications via debugfs that can be used
+to generate documentation. Tools for automatic documentation generation
+from specifications are planned for future development.
+
+IDE Integration
+---------------
+
+Modern IDEs can use the JSON export for:
+
+- Parameter hints
+- Type checking
+- Context validation
+- Error code documentation
+
+Testing Framework
+-----------------
+
+The framework includes test helpers::
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_KAPI_TESTING
+ /* Verify API behaves according to specification */
+ kapi_test_api("kmalloc", test_cases);
+ #endif
+
+Best Practices
+==============
+
+Writing Specifications
+----------------------
+
+1. **Be Comprehensive**: Document all parameters, errors, and side effects
+2. **Keep Updated**: Update specs when API behavior changes
+3. **Use Examples**: Include usage examples in descriptions
+4. **Validate Constraints**: Define realistic constraints for parameters
+5. **Document Context**: Clearly specify allowed execution contexts
+
+Maintenance
+-----------
+
+1. **Version Specifications**: Increment version when API changes
+2. **Deprecation**: Mark deprecated APIs and suggest replacements
+3. **Cross-reference**: Link related APIs in descriptions
+4. **Test Specifications**: Verify specs match implementation
+
+Common Patterns
+---------------
+
+**Optional Parameters**::
+
+ KAPI_PARAM(2, optional_arg, KAPI_TYPE_POINTER, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Optional argument (may be NULL)")
+ KAPI_PARAM_OPTIONAL(2)
+
+**Variable Arguments**::
+
+ KAPI_PARAM(1, fmt, KAPI_TYPE_FORMAT_STRING, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Printf-style format string")
+ KAPI_PARAM_VARIADIC(2, "Format arguments")
+
+**Callback Functions**::
+
+ KAPI_PARAM(1, callback, KAPI_TYPE_FUNCTION_PTR, KAPI_DIR_IN,
+ "Callback function")
+ KAPI_PARAM_CALLBACK(1, "int (*)(void *data)", "data")
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+Common Issues
+-------------
+
+**Specification Not Found**::
+
+ kernel: KAPI: Specification for 'my_api' not found
+
+ Solution: Ensure KAPI_DEFINE_SPEC is in the same translation unit
+ as the function implementation.
+
+**Validation Failures**::
+
+ kernel: KAPI: Validation failed for kmalloc parameter 'size':
+ value 5242880 exceeds maximum 4194304
+
+ Solution: Check parameter constraints or adjust specification if
+ the constraint is incorrect.
+
+**Build Errors**::
+
+ error: 'KAPI_TYPE_UNKNOWN' undeclared
+
+ Solution: Include <linux/kernel_api_spec.h> and ensure
+ CONFIG_KAPI_SPEC is enabled.
+
+Debug Options
+-------------
+
+Enable verbose debugging::
+
+ echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kapi/debug/verbose
+
+Future Directions
+=================
+
+Planned Features
+----------------
+
+1. **Automatic Extraction**: Tool to extract specifications from existing
+ kernel-doc comments
+
+2. **Contract Verification**: Static analysis to verify implementation
+ matches specification
+
+3. **Performance Profiling**: Measure actual API performance against
+ documented expectations
+
+4. **Fuzzing Integration**: Use specifications to guide intelligent
+ fuzzing of kernel APIs
+
+5. **Version Compatibility**: Track API changes across kernel versions
+
+Research Areas
+--------------
+
+1. **Formal Verification**: Use specifications for mathematical proofs
+ of correctness
+
+2. **Runtime Monitoring**: Detect specification violations in production
+ with minimal overhead
+
+3. **API Evolution**: Analyze how kernel APIs change over time
+
+4. **Security Applications**: Use specifications for security policy
+ enforcement
+
+Contributing
+============
+
+Submitting Specifications
+-------------------------
+
+1. Add specifications to the same file as the API implementation
+2. Follow existing patterns and naming conventions
+3. Test with CONFIG_KAPI_RUNTIME_CHECKS enabled
+4. Verify debugfs output is correct
+5. Run scripts/checkpatch.pl on your changes
+
+Review Criteria
+---------------
+
+Specifications will be reviewed for:
+
+1. **Completeness**: All parameters and errors documented
+2. **Accuracy**: Specification matches implementation
+3. **Clarity**: Descriptions are clear and helpful
+4. **Consistency**: Follows framework conventions
+5. **Performance**: No unnecessary runtime overhead

+
+ The framework allows developers to document APIs inline with

+ return values, error conditions, locking requirements, and

+ This includes checking execution context requirements, parameter
+ validation, and lock state verification.
+
+ This adds overhead and should only be used for debugging and
