    error-injection: Add prompt for function error injection · a4412fdd
    Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
    The config to be able to inject error codes into any function annotated
    with ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is enabled when FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is
    enabled.  But unfortunately, this is always enabled on x86 when KPROBES
    is enabled, and there's no way to turn it off.
    
    As kprobes is useful for observability of the kernel, it is useful to
    have it enabled in production environments.  But error injection should
    be avoided.  Add a prompt to the config to allow it to be disabled even
    when kprobes is enabled, and get rid of the "def_bool y".
    
    This is a kernel debug feature (it's in Kconfig.debug), and should have
    never been something enabled by default.
