Patch series "error-injection: Clarify the requirements of error
injectable functions".
Patches for clarifying the requirement of error injectable functions and
to remove the confusing EI_ETYPE_NONE.
This patch (of 2):
Since the EI_ETYPE_NONE is confusing type, replace it with appropriate
errno. The EI_ETYPE_NONE has been introduced for a dummy (error) value,
but it can mislead people that they can use ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(func,
NONE). So remove it from the EI_ETYPE and use appropriate errno instead.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: include/linux/error-injection.h needs errno.h]

Traversing list without mutex in get_injectable_error_type will
race with the following code:
list_del_init(&ent->list)
kfree(ent)
in module_unload_ei_list. So fix that.

~15 years ago kprobes grew the 'arch_deref_entry_point()' __weak function:
3d7e33825d87: ("jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users")
But this is just open-coded dereference_symbol_descriptor() in essence, and
its obscure nature was causing bugs.
Just use the real thing and remove arch_deref_entry_point().

Commit af3b854492 ("mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection")
introduced EI_ETYPE_TRUE, but did not extend
* lib/error-inject.c:error_type_string(), and
* kernel/fail_function.c:adjust_error_retval()
to accommodate for this change.
Handle EI_ETYPE_TRUE in both functions appropriately by
* returning "TRUE" in error_type_string(),
* adjusting the return value to true (1) in adjust_error_retval().
Furthermore, simplify the logic of handling EI_ETYPE_NULL in
adjust_error_retval().

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function.
One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws,
mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such
flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it.
But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success
code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior
even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors.
That is not what we want to test by error injection.
To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each
injectable function, this introduces injectable error types:
- EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it
fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO
if it fails.
- EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO
(ERR_PTR) or NULL.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of
NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for
each function. e.g.
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO)
This error types are shown in debugfs as below.
====
/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list
open_ctree [btrfs] ERRNO
io_ctl_init [btrfs] ERRNO
====

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.
Some differences has been made:
- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.
