3f913fc5f9 mm: fix missing handler for __GFP_NOWARN
We expect no warnings to be issued when we specify __GFP_NOWARN, but
currently in paths like alloc_pages() and kmalloc(), there are still some
warnings printed, fix it.

But for some warnings that report usage problems, we don't deal with them.
If such warnings are printed, then we should fix the usage problems. 
Such as the following case:

	WARN_ON_ONCE((gfp_flags & __GFP_NOFAIL) && (order > 1));

9b4fb5cec0 fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE()
It's a bit weird that WRITE_ONCE() evaluates to the value it stores and
it's different to smp_store_release(), which can't be used this way.

In preparation for preventing this in WRITE_ONCE(), change the fault
injection code to use a local variable instead.

053cf51040 fault-inject: clean up debugfs file creation logic
There is no need to check the return value of a debugfs_create_file
call, a caller should never change what they do depending on if debugfs
is working properly or not, so remove the checks, simplifying the logic
in the file a lot.

Also fix up the error check for debugfs_create_dir() which was not
returning NULL for an error, but rather a error pointer.

9eeb52ae71 fault-inject: fix wrong should_fail() decision in task context
Commit 1203c8e6fb ("fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth")
unintentionally broke a conditional statement in should_fail().  Any
faults are not injected in the task context by the change when the
systematic fault injection is not used.

This change restores to the previous correct behaviour.

1203c8e6fb fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth
The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if
and only if the task is current.

This file is owned by the currnet user.  So we can create it with 0644
and allow the owner to write it.  This enables to watch the status of
task->fail_nth from another processes.

e41d58185f fault-inject: support systematic fault injection
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.

f39cdaebb8 fault-inject: avoid call to random32() if fault injection is disabled

fault injection wasn't enabled at runtime.

should_fail forces a comparison against random32() even if probability is
0:

        if (attr->probability <= random32() % 100)
                return false;

dd48c085c1 fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory
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().

329409aeda [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
