[PATCH v3 1/2] security: add fault injection capability

From: Aleksandr Nogikh
Date: Thu Oct 29 2020 - 14:35:54 EST


From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a fault injection capability to call_int_hook macro. This will
facilitate testing of fault tolerance of the code that invokes
security hooks as well as the fault tolerance of the LSM
implementations themselves.

Add a KConfig option (CONFIG_FAIL_LSM_HOOKS) that controls whether the
capability is enabled. In order to enable configuration from the user
space, add the standard debugfs entries for fault injection (if
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS is enabled).
