The failcmd.sh script in the fault-injection toolkit does not currently validate whether the provided address is in hexadecimal format. This can lead to silent failures if the address is sourced from places like `/proc/kallsyms`, which omits the '0x' prefix, potentially causing users to operate under incorrect assumptions. Introduce a new function, `exit_if_not_hex`, which checks the format of the provided address and exits with an error message if the address is not a valid hexadecimal number. This enhancement prevents users from running the command with improperly formatted addresses, thus improving the robustness and usability of the failcmd tool.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
