This patchset adds a library that captures error reports from debugging
tools like KASAN or KFENCE and exposes those reports to userspace via
sysfs. Report capturing is controlled by two new types of tracepoints:
error_report_start and error_report_end, that must be added to the tools
that want to use this new feature.

v2:
 - added ABI documentation for /sys/kernel/error_report/
 - changed error_report_start and error_report end tracepoints to take
   a fixed set of values for the error detector

Alexander Potapenko (5):
  tracing: add error_report trace points
  lib: add error_report_notify to collect debugging tools' reports
  docs: ABI: add /sys/kernel/error_report/ documentation
  kfence: use error_report_start and error_report_end tracepoints
  kasan: use error_report_start and error_report_end tracepoints

Should have CCd linux-api@, please do next time

Thanks, will do!
Shall I also CC the v2 ABI patch explicitly?

I'll be dropping the sysfs changes from this patchset, but assume it
still makes sense to CC linux-api@ since v3 will be introducing
tracepoints.
