Revision f2ebf8ffe7af10bff02d34addbebd9199de65ed2 authored by Riccardo Mancini on 15 July 2021, 16:07:21 UTC, committed by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo on 15 July 2021, 20:34:39 UTC
ASan reports several memory leaks running: # perf test "88: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname" The second of these leaks is caused by the arg_fmt field of syscall not being deallocated. This patch adds a new function syscall__exit which is called on all syscalls.table entries in trace__exit, which will free the arg_fmt field.

Notifier error injection
========================
Notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artificial errors to
specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the error handling of
notifier call chain failures which is rarely executed. There are kernel
modules that can be used to test the following notifiers.
* PM notifier
* Memory hotplug notifier
* powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
* Netdevice notifier
PM notifier error injection module
----------------------------------
This feature is controlled through debugfs interface
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pm/actions/<notifier event>/error
Possible PM notifier events to be failed are:
* PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE
* PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
* PM_RESTORE_PREPARE
Example: Inject PM suspend error (-12 = -ENOMEM)::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pm/
# echo -12 > actions/PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE/error
# echo mem > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory
Memory hotplug notifier error injection module
----------------------------------------------
This feature is controlled through debugfs interface
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory/actions/<notifier event>/error
Possible memory notifier events to be failed are:
* MEM_GOING_ONLINE
* MEM_GOING_OFFLINE
Example: Inject memory hotplug offline error (-12 == -ENOMEM)::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory
# echo -12 > actions/MEM_GOING_OFFLINE/error
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory
powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier error injection module
--------------------------------------------------------
This feature is controlled through debugfs interface
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pSeries-reconfig/actions/<notifier event>/error
Possible pSeries reconfig notifier events to be failed are:
* PSERIES_RECONFIG_ADD
* PSERIES_RECONFIG_REMOVE
* PSERIES_DRCONF_MEM_ADD
* PSERIES_DRCONF_MEM_REMOVE
Netdevice notifier error injection module
----------------------------------------------
This feature is controlled through debugfs interface
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev/actions/<notifier event>/error
Netdevice notifier events which can be failed are:
* NETDEV_REGISTER
* NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
* NETDEV_CHANGENAME
* NETDEV_PRE_UP
* NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE
* NETDEV_POST_INIT
* NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU
* NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER
* NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER
Example: Inject netdevice mtu change error (-22 == -EINVAL)::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
# echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error
# ip link set eth0 mtu 1024
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
For more usage examples
-----------------------
There are tools/testing/selftests using the notifier error injection features
for CPU and memory notifiers.
* tools/testing/selftests/cpu-hotplug/on-off-test.sh
* tools/testing/selftests/memory-hotplug/on-off-test.sh
These scripts first do simple online and offline tests and then do fault
injection tests if notifier error injection module is available.
