Subject[PATCH v2] panic: Taint kernel if fault injection has been used
Date
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Since the function error injection framework in the fault injection
subsystem can change the function code flow forcibly, it may cause
unexpected behavior (and that is the purpose of this feature) even
if it is applied to the ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION functions.
So this feature must be used only for debugging or testing purpose.

To identify this in the kernel oops message, add a new taint flag
for the fault injection. This taint flag will be set by either
function error injection is used or the BPF use the kprobe_override
on error injectable functions (identified by ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION).
