[PATCH 0/6] Torture-test updates for post-v4.19

From: Paul E. McKenney

Date: Mon Dec 29 2025 - 14:14:00 EST


Hello!

These patches update the torture testing, most notably improving the
performance of kvm-series.sh by a small but useful integer factor.

1. Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer().

2. Parallelize kvm-series.sh guest-OS execution.

3. Make kvm-series.sh give build numbers and totals.

4. Make kvm-series.sh give run numbers and totals.

5. Make config2csv.sh properly handle comments in .boot files.

6. Include commit discription in testid.txt.

Thanx, Paul
