The torture tests are designed to run in isolation, but do not enforce this isolation. This commit therefore checks for concurrent torture tests, and refuses to start new tests while old tests are running. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The locktorture module references CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE, which does not exist. Which is a good thing, because otherwise randconfig testing could enable both rcutorture and locktorture concurrently, which the torture tests are not set up for. This commit therefore removes the reference, so that test is runnable immediately only when inserted as a module. Reported-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

There are usually lots of readers and only one writer, so if there has to be a choice, we would want rcu_torture_writer to win. This commit therefore removes the set_user_nice() from rcu_torture_writer(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

The current scripting only keeps track of the git SHA-1 of the current HEAD. This can cause confusion in cases where testing ran in a git tree where changes had not yet been checked in. This commit therefore also records the output of "git diff HEAD" to provide the information needed to reconstruct the source tree that was tested. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The rcu_torture_reader() function uses an on-stack timer_list structure which it initializes with setup_timer_on_stack(). However, it fails to use destroy_timer_on_stack() before exiting, which results in leaking a tracking object if DEBUG_OBJECTS is enabled. This commit therefore invokes destroy_timer_on_stack() to avoid this leakage.

The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around call_rcu() invocations. The testing of these synchronous primitives was delegated to the fake writers. However, there really is no excuse not to test them, especially in the case of SRCU, where the wrappering is somewhat more elaborate. This commit therefore makes the default rcutorture parameters cause rcu_torture_writer() to include synchronous grace-period primitives in its testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The kvm-test-1-run.sh currently counts "sleep 1" commands to detect hangs. This can fail spectacularly on busy systems, where "sleep 1" might take far longer than one second to complete.

The reaction of kvm-recheck.sh is obscure at best, and easy to miss completely. This commit therefore prints "BUG: Build failed" in the summary at the end of a run. This commit also adds the line of dashes in cases where performance info is not available, and also avoids printing nonsense diagnostics in cases where some of the normal test output is not available. In addition, this commit saves off the .config file even when the build fails. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In torture_shuffle_tasks function, the check if an all-zero mask can be passed to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is redundant after clearing the shuffle_idle_cpu bit. If the mask had more than one bit set, after clearing a bit it has at least one bit set. If the mask had only one bit set, a check is made at the beginning, where the function returns, as there is no need to shuffle only one cpu. Also, this code is executed inside a critical section, delimited by get_online_cpus(), and put_online_cpus(), preventing CPUs from leaving between the check of num_online_cpus and the calls to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function.

The rcu_torture_reader() function currently uses schedule(). This commit therefore speeds things up a bit by substituting cond_resched(). This change makes rcu_torture_reader() more CPU-bound, so this commit also adjusts the number of readers (the "nreaders" module parameter, which feeds into the "nrealreaders" variable) to allow one CPU to be free of readers on SMP systems. The point of this is to increase the probability that readers will be watching while an updater makes a change. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Paul E. McKenney authored
Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately, every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state. Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption, and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well. This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations. This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of RCU grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

This commit adds a call to rcutorture_trace_dump() to dump the ftrace buffer when the RCU grace period stalls in order to help debug the stall. Note that this is different than the RCU CPU stall warning, as it is rcutorture detecting the stall rather than the underlying RCU implementation. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Currently, the scripts hard-code arch/x86/boot/bzImage, which does not work well for other architectures. This commit therefore provides a identify_boot_image function that selects the correct bzImage location relative to the top of the Linux source tree. This commit also adds a --bootimage argument that allows selecting some other file, for example, "vmlinux". This change requires that the definition of the QEMU variable be computed earlier in order to identify where to look for the boot image when it comes time to copy it to the results directory.

The current script does record qemu diagnostics, but the user has to know where to look for them. This commit therefore puts them into the Warnings file so that kvm-recheck.sh will display them.

In a normal torture-test run, the script inherits its environment variables, but this does not work when producing a script that is to run later. Therefore, definitions and exports are prepended to a dryrun script but not to a script that is run immediately.

The torture tests need to set specific values for their respective Kconfig options (e.g., CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST), and must therefore filter any conflicting definitions from the Kconfig fragment file.
