Subject: error-injection: add prompt for function error injection
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2022 10:44:03 -0500
The config to be able to inject error codes into any function annotated
with ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is enabled when
CONFIG_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.
