sysfail

The sysfail uses bpf to inject failpoint. The -inject option format align with strace(1). For example, you can delay mount(2) with 10 seconds.

$ sysfail -inject mount:delay_enter=10000:when=1 -pid 1000

install bpf_failpoint_delay before run

bpf-helper(7) doesn't support sleep function. However, fentry/fexit tracing functions support sleepable call. sysfail uses btf_kfunc to export kernel function msleep to bpf_failpoint_delay. The btf_kfunc registration is done by kernel module

$ cd bpf/kmod
$ make install-mod

requirement

It requires kernel to build with CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION.
