Because stuttering the test load (stopping and restarting it) is useful for non-RCU testing, this commit moves the load-stuttering functionality to kernel/torture.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

Currently, rcutorture can terminate via rmmod, via self-shutdown, via something else shutting the system down, or of course the usual catastrophic termination. The first two get flagged, so this commit adds a message for the third. For the fourth, your warranty is void as always. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit introduces the torture_must_stop() function in order to keep use of the fullstop variable local to kernel/torture.c.

Because handling the race between rmmod and system shutdown is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts torture_shutdown_notify(), placing this code into kernel/torture.c.

The torture_shuffle() function forces each CPU in turn to go idle periodically in order to check for problems interacting with per-CPU variables and with dyntick-idle mode. Because this sort of debugging is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts that functionality. This in turn requires abstracting some additional infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Because handling races between rmmod and normal shutdown is not specific to rcutorture, this commit renames rcutorture_shutdown_absorb() to torture_shutdown_absorb() and pulls it out into then kernel/torture.c module. This implies pulling the fullstop mechanism into kernel/torture.c as well. The exporting of fullstop and fullstop_mutex is ugly and must die. And it does in fact die in later commits that introduce higher-level APIs that encapsulate both of these variables. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit adds a "(!)" flag after the number of CPUs required by a given test if that test requires more than the available number of CPUs.

Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in the following sub-optimal schedule: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE01 8 TREE02 8 TREE03 8 ----start batch---- TREE04 8 TREE05 8 TREE06 8 ----start batch---- SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch, the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five. This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule in this case: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 TREE01 8 ----start batch---- TREE02 8 TREE03 8 TREE04 8 ----start batch---- TREE05 8 TREE06 8 SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm, however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

Actual rcutorture tests take considerable time and machine resources, so it is inconvenient to actually do an rcutorture run when optimizing the bin-packing algorithm. This commit therefore adds a --dryrun argument, which defaults to doing a run, but for which "sched" says to simply print the run schedule and "script" dumps the script without running it.

The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using sixteen of them. Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before. The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared. It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU. This commit therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially (with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.

Sometime problems can manifest themselves as unusually slow grace periods. This commit therefore prints the number of rcutorture updates during the test and the number per second. These statistics are harvested from the config.out and qemu-cmd files, and are silently omitted if these files are not available, as would be the case if there was a build failure or a boot-time hang.

Currently, of_match_node compares each given match against all node's compatible strings with of_device_is_compatible. To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and also an alphabetical ordering is more sane there. Therefore, this patch introduces a function to match each of the node's compatible strings against all given compatible matches without type and name first, before checking the next compatible string. This implies that node's compatibles are ordered from specific to generic while given matches can be in any order. If we fail to find such a match entry, then fall-back to the old method in order to keep compatibility.

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull twi tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Two urgent fixes in the tracing utility. The first is a fix for the way the ring buffer stores timestamps. After a restructure of the code was done, the ring buffer timestamp logic missed the fact that the first event on a sub buffer is to have a zero delta, as the full timestamp is stored on the sub buffer itself. But because the delta was not cleared to zero, the timestamp for that event will be calculated as the real timestamp + the delta from the last timestamp. This can skew the timestamps of the events and have them say they happened when they didn't really happen. That's bad. The second fix is for modifying the function graph caller site. When the stop machine was removed from updating the function tracing code, it missed updating the function graph call site location. It is still modified as if it is being done via stop machine. But it's not. This can lead to a GPF and kernel crash if the function graph call site happens to lie between cache lines and one CPU is executing it while another CPU is doing the update. It would be a very hard condition to hit, but the result is severe enough to have it fixed ASAP" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Use breakpoints for converting function graph caller ring-buffer: Fix first commit on sub-buffer having non-zero delta
