2024-08-07docs: fault-injection: document cache-filter feature for failslabBreno Leitao1-0/+20
The failslab fault injection mechanism has an undocumented capability that provides significant utility in testing and debugging. This feature, introduced in commit 4c13dd3b48fcb ("failslab: add ability to filter slab caches"), allows for targeted error injection into specific slab caches. However, it was inadvertently left undocumented at the time of its implementation. Add documentation for the cache-filter feature in the failslab mode description. Also, providing a practical example demonstrating how to use cache-filter to inject failures specifically when allocating socket buffers (skbs).

2023-05-31lkdtm: replace ll_rw_block with submit_bhYue Zhao1-1/+1
Function ll_rw_block was removed in commit 79f597842069 ("fs/buffer: remove ll_rw_block() helper"). There is no unified function to sumbit read or write buffer in block layer for now. Consider similar sematics, we can choose submit_bh() to replace ll_rw_block() as predefined crash point. In submit_bh(), it also takes read or write flag as the first argument and invoke submit_bio() to submit I/O request to block layer.

2023-04-13block: null_blk: make fault-injection dynamically configurable per deviceAkinobu Mita1-0/+8
The null_blk driver has multiple driver-specific fault injection mechanisms. Each fault injection configuration can only be specified by a module parameter and cannot be reconfigured without reloading the driver. Also, each configuration is common to all devices and is initialized every time a new device is added. This change adds the following subdirectories for each null_blk device. /sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/timeout_inject /sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/requeue_inject /sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/init_hctx_fault_inject Each fault injection attribute can be dynamically set per device by a corresponding file in these directories.

2022-11-30debugfs: fix error when writing negative value to atomic_t debugfs fileAkinobu Mita1-6/+4
The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t(). This restores the previous behaviour by introducing DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

2021-08-19lkdtm: replace SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD with SCSI_QUEUE_RQKevin Mitchell1-1/+1
When scsi_dispatch_cmd was moved to scsi_lib.c and made static, some compilers (i.e., at least gcc 8.4.0) decided to compile this inline. This is a problem for lkdtm.ko, which inserted a kprobe on this function for the SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD crashpoint. Move this crashpoint one function up the call chain to scsi_queue_rq. Though this is also a static function, it should never be inlined because it is assigned as a structure entry. Therefore, kprobe_register should always be able to find it.

2020-10-16lib, include/linux: add usercopy failure capabilityAlbert van der Linde1-1/+6
Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3. The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

2019-07-15docs: add some directories to the main documentation indexMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation body. While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide, I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the :orphan: and adding the SPDX header. For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific docs that were not split yet. For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch could do the move.

Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing 0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically. Excerpt from the added documentation: "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected. Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc). This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g. fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See an example below" Why add a new setting: 1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task. So parallel testing is not possible. 2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected. 3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files. 4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure types is potentially expanding. 5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user. Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs). The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example). We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found 10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes. For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current version of the code.

2015-12-01net: add support for netdev notifier error injectionNikolay Aleksandrov1-0/+24
This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using this module. Here's an example: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev $ echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error $ ip link set eth0 mtu 1024 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument CC: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> CC: "David S.

2015-07-20futex: Fault/error injection capabilitiesDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+11
Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita, we really have very little debugging capabilities - except for relying on tglx's eye half the time. By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery, we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time. Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of this. There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

2012-07-30fault-injection: notifier error injectionAkinobu Mita1-0/+99
This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to the following notifier chain callbacks. * CPU notifier * PM notifier * memory hotplug notifier * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM) # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection module is available. This patch: The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical errors to specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures. This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code should be returned and which event should be failed.

2011-08-03fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directoryAkinobu Mita1-2/+1
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But it can only export it in debugfs root directory. Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem. The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman.
