With print-fatal-signals=1 on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, sending an
unexpected signal to a process causes a BUG: using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible code.
get_signal_to_deliver() releases the siglock before calling
print_fatal_signal(), which calls show_regs(), which calls
smp_processor_id(), which is not supposed to be called from a
preemptible thread.
Make sure show_regs() runs with preemption disabled.

Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing
This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.
Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.

Impact: fix to print out ftrace_dump when expected
I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.
Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.
ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore
When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.
The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).
So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.
This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.
In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.
This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.

Commit 58c6d3dfe4 ("dma-coherent: catch

sanity check to bail out on allocations larger than the coherent area.
Unfortunately when this was implemented, the fact the coherent area
is tracked in pages rather than bytes was overlooked, which subsequently
broke every single dma_alloc_from_coherent() user, forcing the allocation
silently through generic memory instead.

Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer
Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.
Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:
struct buffer_data_page {
u64 time_stamp;
local_t commit;
unsigned char data[];
};
Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.
This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8
but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29
which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock
But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work
This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

Impact: New perf_counter features
This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable
counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also
enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned
from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level
counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via
ioctl on the counter file descriptor.
Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to
handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters
will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the
hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a
group in the child task.
In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given
top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added
a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the
list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for
a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex
field.
This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously
the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the
context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock
and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's
child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take
that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take
the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's
state safely, which will lead to a deadlock.
To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context,
and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't
change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now
perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which
incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of
GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new
enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list
of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the
counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter.
We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context
would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were
using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU.
But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero
(because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like
the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in
__perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active'
field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no
counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for
per-cpu contexts.
If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU,
and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the
whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets
moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also
adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on,
or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to
a group.

Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems
OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is

Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP
balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case
update_curr
update_min_vruntime
cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree)
vruntime = se->vruntime
and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be.
OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with...
Aah, yes.
Say we've just dequeued current
schedule
deactivate_task(prev)
dequeue_entity
update_min_vruntime
Then we'll set
vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;
we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_
do vruntime = se->vruntime, because
vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime)
will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we
fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc

A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU
whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for
a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system
cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where
it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0
bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made
readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we
have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able
to reset the error state on individual groups.
An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group
using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The
counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there
are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups
onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement
does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can
always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on).
With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU
registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will
perturb other measurements.
Along the way this reorganizes things a little:
- is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h.
- cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on
the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading
cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless.
- A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an
exclusive group on the CPU.
- counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called
from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task,
where we used to have essentially the same code.
- __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing
the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in
the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance
to be scheduled in.
Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that
attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in
some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other
group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that
restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than
to apply a new one.
This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited
and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not
propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it
should.

This makes sure that we call the platform-specific ppc_md.enable_pmcs
function on each CPU before we try to use the PMU on that CPU. If the
CPU goes off-line and then on-line, we need to do the enable_pmcs call
again, so we use the hw_perf_counter_setup hook to ensure that. It gets
called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is
coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were
no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before).
This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data
structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the
PMU and clear it when we are not. This allows the hypervisor to optimize
partition switches by not saving/restoring the PMU registers when we
aren't using the PMU.

This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
on both x86 and powerpc.
kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
can run in IRQ contexts too.

Software counters aren't subject to the limitations imposed by the
fixed number of hardware counter registers, so there is no reason not
to enable them all in __perf_counter_sched_in. Previously we used to
break out of the loop when we got to a group that wouldn't fit on the
PMU; with this we continue through the list but only schedule in
software counters (or groups containing only software counters) from
there on.

Impact: Reduce memory usage.
This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be
variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids. This is done by adding a new
"max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to
return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids.
This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate
file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage
of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's. This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.
The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other

Impact: minimize requirements on architectures
Currently, an architecture just enabling CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS but not
providing any extra functions will fail to build with
perf_counter_print_debug being undefined, since we don't provide an
empty dummy definition like we do with the hw_perf_* functions.
This provides an empty dummy perf_counter_print_debug() to make it
easier for architectures to turn on CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Impact: extend perf_counter infrastructure
This adds an optional hw_perf_group_sched_in() arch function that enables
a whole group of counters in one go. It returns 1 if it added the group
successfully, 0 if it did nothing (and therefore the core needs to add
the counters individually), or a negative number if an error occurred.
It should add all the counters and enable any software counters in the
group, or else add none of them and return an error.
There are a couple of related changes/improvements in the group handling
here:
* As an optimization, group_sched_out() and group_sched_in() now check the
state of the group leader, and do nothing if the leader is not active
or disabled.
* We now call hw_perf_save_disable/hw_perf_restore around the complete
set of counter enable/disable calls in __perf_counter_sched_in/out,
to give the arch code the opportunity to defer updating the hardware
state until the hw_perf_restore call if it wants.
* We no longer stop adding groups after we get to a group that has more
than one counter. We will ultimately add an option for a group to be
exclusive. The current code doesn't really implement exclusive groups
anyway, since a group could end up going on with other counters that
get added before it.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Impact: bug fix
Currently if you do (e.g.) timec -e -1 ls, it will report 0 for the
value of the cpu_clock counter. The reason is that the core assumes
that a counter's count field is up-to-date when the counter is inactive,
and doesn't call the counter's read function. However, the cpu_clock
counter code only updates the count in the read function.
This fixes it by making both the read and disable functions update the
count. It also makes the counter ignore time passing while the counter
is disabled, by making the enable function update the hw.prev_count field.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Impact: fix oops-causing bug
Currently, if you try to use perf_counters on an architecture that has
no hardware support, and you select an event that doesn't map to any of
the defined software counters, you get an oops rather than an error.
This is because the dummy hw_perf_counter_init returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
but the caller (perf_counter_alloc) only tests for NULL.
This makes the dummy hw_perf_counter_init return NULL instead.

Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a
zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL. By
reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve
this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the
same cacheline as we read the namespace from.
When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line
because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of
pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want.
This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during
copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a
reasonable trade off.

Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS. It is used
in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e.
one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count,
but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback.
css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being
removed.
This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but
with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a
cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really
does get removed.
This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1
means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing". In the event of a
race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by
checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.

These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to
reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will
ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed
recently) to be restored.
These three patches give:
1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can
use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree
2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the
memory controller
3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently
proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in
the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful
cgroup_rmdir()
Future patches will likely involve:
- using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems
where appropriate
- restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create()
This patch:
Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to
the hierarchy observed by that subsystem. It is taken by the cgroup
subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations:
- linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree
- unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree
- moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the
bind() callback)
Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely
traverse its own hierarchy.

Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters. Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy. This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.
These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.
NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root. It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.

Fix races between /proc/sched_debug by freeing cgroup objects via an RCU
callback. Thus any cgroup reference obtained from an RCU-safe source will
remain valid during the RCU section. Since dentries are also RCU-safe,
this allows us to traverse up the tree safely.
Additionally, make cgroup_path() check for a NULL cgrp->dentry to avoid
trying to report a path for a partially-created cgroup.

Once tasks are populated from system namespace inside cgroup, container
replaces other namespace task with 0 while listing tasks, inside

Though this is expected behaviour from container end, there is no use of
showing unwanted 0s.
In this patch, we check if a process is in same namespace before loading

In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set(). and
find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set.
This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it
after find_css_set().
NOTE:
css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held. but I reviewed other
code which use taskcount, they are still correct. No regression found by
reviewing and simply testing.
So I do not use two counters in css_set. (one counter for taskcount, the
other for refcount. like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression,
we will use two counters in css_set.

We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put
struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us.
struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places:
1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling)
2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode)
rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root);
rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode);
3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root)
4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode;
5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits,
ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled);
6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root;
if ((root != subsys->root) ||
All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to
struct cgroupfs_root. It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct
cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected
by RCU.

We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be
changed. it's unreliable, and "if (l == &res->cgroups->tasks)" may be
false forever.
We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug. we just access to struct
css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct.
Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.

NOMMU mmap allocates a piece of memory for an mmap that's rounded up in size to
the nearest power-of-2 number of pages. Currently it then discards the excess
pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other
things. This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation.
To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming
behaviour. The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while
this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular
watermark in order to have finer-grained control.

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.
(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.
A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.
This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.
(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.
(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.
These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that
resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture". The problem
was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system
is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when
rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed.
The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than
trying to get them to terminate cleanly. Concurrent shutdown and
rmmod is illegal.
I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing
setups.
For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes:
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m
This is the normal rcutorture build. Use "modprobe rcutorture"
(with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to
stop. If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you
should see console output like:
rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown
One for each rcutorture kthread.
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n
Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the
test to start running during early boot. To start the
torturing:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable
To stop the torturing, s/1/0/
You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when
you shut the system down.
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y
Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early
boot. Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the
test.
