[PATCH tip/core/rcu 8/8] rcutorture: Make use of nolibc when available

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:01:54 EST


From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>

This reduces the size of the init executable from ~800 kB to ~800 bytes
on x86_64. This is only implemented for x86_64, i386, arm and arm64.
Others not tested.
