objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries")
tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward
declaration of disassemble_init_for_target().
However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies
the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development
headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without
development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS.
Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails:
fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found
113 | #include <bfd.h>
Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring
any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler.
Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet,
passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining
PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================ +Configurable Error Injection +============================ + +Overview +-------- + +Configurable error injection allows injecting specific block layer status codes +for sector ranges of a block device. Errors can be injected unconditionally, or +with a given probability. + +To use configurable error injection, CONFIG_BLK_ERROR_INJECTION must be enabled. + +The only interface is the error_injection debugfs file, which is created for +each registered gendisk. Writes to this file are used to create or delete rules +and reads return a list of the current error injection sites. + +Options +------- + +The following options specify the operations: + +=================== ======================================================= +add add a new rule +removeall remove all existing rules +=================== ======================================================= + +The following options specify the details of the rule for the add operation: + +=================== ======================================================= +op=<string> block layer operation this rule applies to. This uses + the XYZ for each REQ_OP_XYZ operation, e.g. READ, WRITE + or DISCARD. Mandatory. +status=<string> Status to return. This uses XYZ for each BLK_STS_XYZ + code, e.g. IOERR or MEDIUM. Mandatory. +start=<number> First block layer sector the rule applies to. + Optional, defaults to 0. +nr_sectors=<number> Number of sectors this rule applies. + Optional, defaults to the remainder of the device. +chance=<number> Only return a failure with a likelihood of 1/chance. + Optional, defaults to 1 (always). +=================== ======================================================= + +Example +------- + +Return BLK_STS_IOERR for one in 10 reads of sector 0 of /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'add,op=READ,start=0,status=IOERR,chance=10' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection + +Return BLK_STS_MEDIUM for every write to /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'add,op=WRITE,start=0,status=MEDIUM' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection + +Remove all rules for /dev/nvme0n1: + + $ echo 'removeall' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/nvme0n1/error_injection |
