23ca096703 rcutorture: Add a scenario for Tiny SRCU
This commit adds an SRCU-t rcutorture scenario for the new Tiny SRCU
implementation, removing the need to pass the --bootargs parameter to
kvm.sh to run Tiny SRCU tests.  This commit also adds SRCU-t to the set
of scenarios that are run by default.

3c52f26227 rcutorture: Fix bug in reporting Kconfig mis-settings
Kconfig "select" clauses can defeat Kconfig-fragment file attempts to
clear a given Kconfig variable, and dependencies can defeat attempts to
set a given Kconfig variable.  Because "select" clauses and dependencies
can be added at any time, there needs to be a way to verify that the
Kconfig-fragment file's requests were honored.  And there is, except
that it is buggy.  This commit therefore provides the needed fix.

8d6dd656a1 rcutorture: Add three-level tree test for Tree SRCU
This commit adds a test for a three-level srcu_node tree for Tree SRCU
in the existing SRCU-P scenario.  This requires enabling CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT,
so the CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT=n scenario is now SRCU-N.  The reason for using
SRCU-P for the tall tree is that preemption raises the possibility of
locating more bugs than does the non-preemptive SRCU-N.

27dc0b1b9f rcutorture: Add lockdep to one of the SRCU scenarios
Back when SRCU was simpler, there wasn't much need for lockdep.
However, with Tree SRCU, it is needed.  This commit therefore adds
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING to the SRCU-P scenario.

6bb7ff175e torture: Use correct path for Kconfig fragment for duplicates
Currently, the rcutorture scripting will give an error message if
running a duplicate scenario that happens also to have a non-existent
build directory (b1, b2, ... in the rcutorture directory).  Worse yet, if
the build directory has already been created and used for a real build,
the script will silently grab the wrong Kconfig fragment, which could
cause confusion to the poor sap (me) analyzing old test results.  At
least the actual test runs correctly...

This commit therefore accesses the Kconfig fragment from the results
directory corresponding to the first of the duplicate scenarios, for
which a build was actually carried out.  This prevents both the messages
and at least one form of later confusion.

418b2977b3 rcutorture: Add CBMC-based formal verification for SRCU
This commit creates a formal/srcu-cbmc directory containing scripts that
pull SRCU in from the source code, filter it to remove things that CBMC
cannot handle, and run a series of verifications on it.  This has a number
of shortcomings:

1.	It does not yet hook into the upper-level self-test Makefiles.
2.	It tests only a single scenario, store buffering.
3.	There is no gcc-based syntax-error prefiltering.

Nevertheless, it does fully verify a piece of SRCU under a moderately
weak memory model (PSO).

The RCU torture tests currently do not run any Tiny RCU scenarios for
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y.  This is a hole in the test, given
that someone might need this in real life and given that Tiny RCU uses
different callback-handling code than does Tree RCU.  This commit
therefore enables this Kconfig option for scenario TINY02.

1f32ee6586 torture: Prevent jitter from delaying build-only runs
Currently, if the --jitter flag specifies jitter for a --build-only
run, the system will obediently build a kernel, refuse to launch it,
launch the requested number of jitter processes, and wait for the
specified kernel run time, which defaults to 30 minutes.  This is
of course quite pointless.

This commit therefore disables jitter on build-only runs.

for running a KVM guest by QEMU, besides, we used to copy the vmlinux

This patch makes identify_boot_image() return vmlinux if

several places that hard-code "bzImage" as $KERNEL.

c979ff9917 torture: Place console.log files correctly from the get-go
Currently, the console output files ("console.log") are placed in the
build directory initially, then copied to the results directory.
One problem with this is if a qemu refuses to die in a timely fashion
after a kernel hang, it will continue to write after the next qemu
starts up, resulting in confusing output from the old instance of
qemu.  This commit prevents such confusion by placing the console.log
files into the results directory to begin with, so that a given instance
of qemu is always writing only to its own console.log file.

estimate test runtime from the output of "--dryrun sched".  This commit
therefore adds a batch number, so that the beginning-of-batch output
looks like this "----Start batch 10" for the tenth batch.

a8c06024d0 torture: Forgive non-plural arguments
This commit allows --bootarg instead of --bootargs, --config instead of
--configs, and --qemu-arg instead of --qemu-args.  For those cases where
a native English speaker might auto-correct the argument to be incorrect.

095777c417 locktorture: Support rtmutex torturing
Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:

o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.

o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.
