[PATCH -v5 0/6] notifier error injection

[Akinobu Mita]

This 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

This 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.

Changelog:

* v5 (change only testing scripts)
- make testing scripts a part of tools/testing/selftests
- do simple on/offline tests even if no notifier error injection support

* v4 (It is about 11 months since v3)
- prefix all APIs with notifier_err_inject_*
- rearrange debugfs interface
  (e.g. $DEBUGFS/cpu-notifier-error-inject/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE -->
        $DEBUGFS/notifier-error-inject/cpu/actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error)
- update modules to follow new interface
- add -r option for memory-notifier.sh to specify percent of offlining
  memory blocks

* v3
- rewrite to be kernel modules instead of initializing at late_initcall()s
  (it makes the diffstat look different but most code remains unchanged)
- export err_inject_notifier_block_{init,cleanup} for modules
- export pSeries_reconfig_notifier_{,un}register symbols for a module
- notifier priority can be specified as a module parameter
- add testing scripts in tools/testing/fault-injection

* v2
- "PM: Improve error code of pm_notifier_call_chain()" is now in -next
- "debugfs: add debugfs_create_int" is dropped
- put a comment in err_inject_notifier_block_init()
- only allow valid errno to be injected (-MAX_ERRNO <= errno <= 0)
- improve Kconfig help text
- make CONFIG_PM_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECTION visible even if PM_DEBUG is disabled
- make CONFIG_PM_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECTION default if PM_DEBUG is enabled
