1 Announcements Having a BLAST with SLAM Meetings -, CSCI 7, Fall 00 Moodle problems? Blog problems? Looked at the syllabus on the website? in program analysis Microsoft uses and distributes the Static Driver Verifier Airbus applies the Astrée Static Analyzer This Week: Building up to SDV Verify properties or find bugs in software Take an important program (e.g., a device driver) Merge it with a property (e.g., no deads) Transform the result into a boolean program Use a model checker to exhaustively explore the resulting state space Result : program provably satisfies property Result : program violates property right here on line 9,76! Take-Home Message Model Checking There are complete courses in model checking (see ECEN 9, Prof. Somenzi). Model Checking by Edmund M. Clarke, Orna Grumberg, and Doron A. Peled. Symbolic Model Checking by Ken McMillan. We will skim. Model checking is the exhaustive exploration of the state space of a system, typically to see if an error state is reachable. It produces concrete counterexamples. The state explosion problem refers to the large number of states in the model. 6

2 Keywords Model checking is an automated technique Model checking verifies transition systems Model checking verifies temporal properties Model checking falsifies by generating counterexamples Verification vs. Falsification What is verification? What is falsification? A model checker is a program that checks if a (transition) system satisfies a (temporal) property 7 8 Verification vs. Falsification An automated verification tool can report that the system is verified (with a proof); or that the system was not verified. When the system was not verified, it would be helpful to explain why. Model checkers can output an error counterexample: a concrete execution scenario that demonstrates the error. Can view a model checker as a falsification tool The main goal is to find bugs So what can we verify or falsify? Software Model Checking via Counterexample Guided Abstraction Refinement There are easily dozens of papers. We will skim. 9 Key Terms Counterexample guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR) A successful software model-checking approach. Sometimes called Iterative Abstraction Refinement. SLAM = The first CEGAR project/tool. Developed at MSR Lazy Abstraction = CEGAR optimization Used in the BLAST tool from Berkeley. What is Counterexample Guided Abstraction Refinement (CEGAR)? Verification by Model Checking? Theorem Proving? Dataflow Analysis or Program Analysis?

3 Verification Verification by Model Checking un : while(new!= old); : un Is this program correct? What does correct mean? How do we determine if a program is correct? un : while(new!= old); : un. (Finite State) Program. State Transition Graph. Reachability - Program Finite state model - State explosion + State exploration + Counterexamples Precise [SPIN,SMV,Bandera,JPF] Verification by Theorem Proving Verification by Theorem Proving un : while(new!= old); : un. Loop Invariants. Logical Formulas. Check Validity Invariant: Æ new = old Ç Æ new old un : while(new!= old); : un. Loop Invariants. Logical Formulas. Check Validity - Loop invariants - Multithreaded programs + Behaviors encoded in logic + Decision procedures Precise [ESC, PCC] 6 Verification by Program Analysis Combining Strengths un : while(new!= old); : un. Dataflow Facts. Constraint System. Solve Constraints - Imprecision: fixed facts + Abstraction + Type/Flow analyses Scalable [Cqual, ESP] 7 Theorem Proving - Need loop invariants (will find automatically) + Behaviors encoded in logic (used to refine abstraction) + Theorem provers (used to compute successors, refine abstraction) SLAM Model Checking Program Analysis - Imprecise (will be precise) + Abstraction (will shrink the state space we must explore) - Finite-state model, state explosion (will find small good model) + State space exploration (used to get a path sensitive analysis) + Counterexamples (used to find relevant facts, refine abstraction) 8

4 Revisiting SLAM Input: Program and Specification Standard C Program (pointers, procedures) Specification = Partial Correctness Given as a finite state machine (typestate) I use s correctly, not I am a webserver Output: Verified or Counterexample Verified = program does not violate spec Can come with proof! Counterexample = concrete bug instance A path through the program that violates the spec 9 Revisiting SLAM Input: Program and Specification Standard C Program (pointers, procedures) Specification = Partial Correctness Given as a finite state machine (typestate) I use s correctly, not I am a webserver Output: Verified or Counterexample Verified = program does not violate spec Can come with proof! Counterexample = concrete bug instance A path through the program that violates the spec 0 Property : Double Locking First Question? un un So what can we verify or falsify?
