rcutorture/configinit: Fix build directory error message

2018-05-23T01:33:47Z

[ Upstream commit 2adfa4210f8f35cdfb4e08318cc06b99752964c2 ] The 'configinit.sh' script checks the format of optional argument for the build directory, printing an error message if the format is not valid. However, the error message uses the wrong variable, indicating an empty string even though the user entered a non-empty (but erroneous) string. This commit fixes the script to use the correct variable. Fixes: c87b9c601ac8 ("rcutorture: Add KVM-based test framework") Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcutorture: Enable slow grace-period initializations

2015-03-11T20:22:38Z

This commit sets CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT=y, but leaves the default time zero. This can be overridden by passing the "--bootargs rcutree.gp_init_delay=1" argument to kvm.sh. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

torture: Flag console.log file to prevent holdovers from earlier runs

2015-01-11T03:08:05Z

A system misconfiguration that prevents qemu from running at all (for example, a missing dynamically linked library) will keep the console.log file from the previous run. This can fool the developer into thinking that this failed run actually completed correctly. This commit therefore overwrites the console.log file just before launching qemu. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

torture: Add "-enable-kvm -soundhw pcspk" to qemu command line

2015-01-11T03:08:04Z

More recent qemu implementations really want "-enable-kvm", and the "-soundhw pcspk" makes the script a bit less dependent on odd audio libraries being installed. This commit therefore adds both to the default qemu command line. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Handle different mpstat versions

2015-01-11T03:08:03Z

The mpstat command recently added the %gnice column, which messes up the cpu2use.sh script's idle-CPU calculations. This commit therefore uses $NF instead of $12 to select the last (%idle) column. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Issue warnings on close calls due to Reader Batch blows

2015-01-11T03:07:46Z

Normal rcutorture checking overestimates grace periods somewhat due to the fact that there is a delay from a grace-period request until the start of the corresponding grace period and another delay from the end of that grace period to notification of the requestor. This means that rcutorture's detection of RCU bugs is less sensitive than it might be. It turns out that rcutorture also checks the underlying grace-period "completed" counter (displayed in Reader Batch output), which in theory allows rcutorture to do exact checks. In practice, memory misordering (by both compiler and CPU) can result in false positives. However, experience on x86 shows that these false positives are quite rare, occurring less than one time per 1,000 hours of testing. This commit therefore does the exact checking, giving a warning if any Reader Batch blows happen, and flagging an error if they happen more often than once every three hours in long tests.
