There is no prompt for CONFIG_STACKTRACE, so FAULT_INJECTION cannot be
selected without LOCKDEP enabled. (found by Paolo 'Blaisorblade'
Giarrusso)
In order to fix such broken Kconfig dependency, this patch splits up the
stacktrace filter support for fault injection by new Kconfig option, which
enables to use fault injection on the architecture which doesn't have
general stacktrace support.

It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed. We can put it back when
it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.
In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

Trivial optimization and simplification of should_fail().
Do cheaper disqualification tests first (performance gain not quantified).
Simplify logic; eliminate goto.

Clamp /debug/fail*/stacktrace-depth to MAX_STACK_TRACE_DEPTH. Ensures that a
read of /debug/fail*/stacktrace-depth always returns a truthful answer.

This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.
The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.
For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.
- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
--> kmem_cache_alloc
This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.
The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)
So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.
Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
[dwm@meer.net: reject failure if any caller lies within specified range]

This patch provides process filtering feature.
The process filter allows failing only permitted processes
by /proc/<pid>/make-it-fail

failures into module init/cleanup code

This patch provides base functions implement to fault-injection
capabilities.
- The function should_fail() is taken from failmalloc-1.0
