      cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module · f5a9f52e
      Akinobu Mita authored
      
      Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
      framework.
      
      This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
      parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected.  We could
      keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
      but it seems overkill for this module.
      
      This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
      callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
      /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
      
      If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
      write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".
      
      Example1: 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
      
      Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)
      
      	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
      	# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
      	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
