Given the fact that the ACPI "EINJ" (error injection) facility is not universally available, implement software infrastructure to validate the memcpy_mcsafe() exception handling implementation. For each potential read exception point in memcpy_mcsafe(), inject a emulated exception point at the address identified by 'mcsafe_inject' variable. With this infrastructure implement a test to validate that the 'bytes remaining' calculation is correct for a range of various source buffer alignments. This code is compiled out by default. The CONFIG_MCSAFE_DEBUG configuration symbol needs to be manually enabled by editing Kconfig.debug. I.e. this functionality can not be accidentally enabled by a user / distro, it's only for development.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
