Davidlohr Bueso ab51fbab39 futex: Fault/error injection capabilities ... 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.
