[RFC 1/5] Kernel Fault injection framework using SystemTap

[Anup C Shan]

Hi.

We have designed a tapset for fault injection. It is meant to ease the 
process of injecting faults into the kernel. As use cases, we have 
ported in-kernel fault injection for slab and page_alloc using this 
framework. Refer Documentation/fault-injection/

We have also modified the existing SCSI fault-injection systemtap script 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/scsifaultinjtst/) to use this framework.

Please find the tapset file and readme attached. The usecase scripts
are in the follow-up mails.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Please suggest a right location to place these tapset scripts in 
SystemTap source tree.

Thanks,
Kushal & Anup
