Akinobu Mita 4662d8e6ab debugfs: fix error when writing negative value to atomic_t debugfs file
[ Upstream commit d472cf797c ]

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c92 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t().

This restores the previous behaviour by introducing
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

Wolfram Sang 005747526d docs: fault-injection: fix non-working usage of negative values
Fault injection uses debugfs in a way that the provided values via sysfs
are interpreted as u64. Providing negative numbers results in an error:

/sys/kernel/debug/fail_function# echo -1 > times
sh: write error: Invalid argument

Update the docs and examples to use "printf %#x <val>" in these cases.
For "retval", reword the paragraph a little and fix a typo.

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.

Christoph Hellwig ed00aabd5e block: rename generic_make_request to submit_bio_noacct
generic_make_request has always been very confusingly misnamed, so rename
it to submit_bio_noacct to make it clear that it is submit_bio minus
accounting and a few checks.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 10ffebbed5 docs: fault-injection: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
