[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/8] Waketorture, not for inclusion

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jun 15 2016 - 18:28:13 EST


Hello!

And for your amusement, this series provides a waketorture module. It is
intended to increase the probability of a heisenbug or three I have been
chasing for longer than I care to admit. Should it someday actually
significantly increase that probability, I might consider submitting it
for acceptance. In the meantime, for your amusement:

1. Add a wakeup-torture module.

2. Update scripting to accommodate waketorture.

3. Don't kick kthreads unless grace period or request.

4. Add utilization measurement.

5. Add hrtimer support for fine-grained event scheduling.

6. Make waketorture always hotplug the same CPU.

7. Make waketorture kill test if no hotpluggable CPUs.

8. Affinity waiter tasks away from hotpluggable CPU.

Thanx, Paul
