    torture: Add a stop-run capability · 6387ecbc
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    When bisecting RCU issues, it is often the case that the first error in
    an unsuccessful run will happen quickly, but that a successful run must
    go on for some time in order to obtain a sufficiently low false-negative
    error rate.  In many cases, a bisection requires multiple concurrent
    runs, in which case the first failure in any run indicates failure,
    pure and simple.  In such cases, it would speed things up greatly if
    the first failure terminated all runs.
    
    This commit therefore adds scripting that checks for a file named "STOP"
    in the top-level results directory, terminating the run when it appears.
    Note that in-progress builds will continue until completion, but future
    builds and all runs will be cut short.
