Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of memory failure. These tests help ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages, pagecaches pages works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user processes, page isolation, and recovery paths.
Currently madvise syscall is used to inject memory failures. And only anonymous pages and pagecaches are tested. More test scenarios, e.g. hugetlb, shmem, thp, will be added. Also more memory failure injecting methods will be supported, e.g. APEI Error INJection, if required.
Thanks!
