      rcutorture: Add cross-compile capability to initrd.sh · 70e9f504
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      This adds the CROSS_COMPILE environment to the initrd.sh script's
gcc command to enable cross compilation.

      rcutorture: Make initrd/init execute in userspace · 229ab0cb
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      Currently, the initrd/init script and executable remain blocked almost
all the time.  However, it is necessary to test nohz_full userspace
execution, which both variants of initrd/init fail to do.  This commit
therefore causes initrd/init to spend about a millisecond per second
executing in userspace.

      rcutorture: Add initrd support for systems lacking dracut · 38e63042
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      The support for creating initrd directories using dracut is a great
improvement over having to always hand-create them, it is a bit annoying
to have to install some otherwise irrelevant package just to be able to
run rcutorture.  This commit therefore adds support for creating initrd
directories on systems innocent of dracut.  You do need gcc, but then
again you need that to build the kernel (or to build llvm) in any case.

The idea is to create an initrd directory containing nothing but a
statically linked binary having a for-loop over a long-term sleep().
The result is a Linux kernel with almost no userspace: even the
time-honored /dev, /lib, /tmp, and /usr directories are gone.  In fact,
the only directory present is "/", but only because I don't know how to
get rid of it, at least short of not having an initrd in the first place.
Although statically linked binaries are much maligned, and rightly so,
their disadvantages seem to be irrelevant for this particular use case.
From https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/no_static_linking.html:

1.	Fixes are difficult to apply to hordes of widely scattered
	statically linked binaries.  But in this case, there is only one
	binary, but there would otherwise be no fewer than four libraries.

2.	Security measures like local address randomization cannot be used.
	Prudence prevents me from asserting that it is impossible to
	base a remote attack on a networking-free rcutorture instance.
	Nevertheless, bonus points to the first person who comes up with
	such an attack!

3.	More efficient use of physical memory.  Not in this case, given
	that libc is 1.8MB and the statically linked binary "only" 800K.

4.	Features such as locales, name service switch (NSS),
	internationalized domain names (IDN) tool, and so on require
	dynamic linking.  Bonus points to the first person coming up
	with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in
	its initrd.

5.	Accidental violations of (L)GPL.  Actually, this change actually
	helps -avoid- such violations by reducing the temptation to
	pass around tarballs of rcutorture-ready initrd directories.
	After all, the rcutorture scripts automatically create an initrd
	directory for you, so why bother with the tarballs?

6.	Tools and hacks like ltrace, LD_PRELOAD, LD_PROFILE, and LD_AUDIT
	don't work.  Again, bonus points to the first person coming up
	with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in
	its initrd.

Nevertheless, the script will use dracut if available, and will create the
statically linked binary only when dracut are missing.  Those preferring
the smaller initrd directory resulting from the statically linked binary
(like me) are free to hand-edit mkinitrd.sh to remove the code using
dracut.  ;-)

      rcutorture: Automatically create initrd directory · 8f15c682
      Connor Shu authored 
      The rcutorture scripts currently expect the user to create the
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory.  Should the user
fail to do this, the kernel build will fail with obscure and confusing
error messages.  This commit therefore adds explicit checks for the
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory, and if not present,
creates one on systems on which dracut is installed.  If this directory
could not be created, a less obscure error message is emitted and the
test is aborted.
