[PATCH 1/3] rcutorture: catchup doc fixes for idle-hz tests

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jun 26 2006 - 14:50:48 EST


This just catches the RCU torture documentation up with the recent
fixes that test RCU for architectures that turn of the scheduling-clock
interrupt for idle CPUs and the addition of a SUCCESS/FAILURE
indication, fixing up an obsolete comment as well.
