Albert van der Linde 2c739ced58 lib, include/linux: add usercopy failure capability
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
