2021-07-27rcuscale: Console output claims too few grace periodsJiangong.Han
The rcuscale console output claims N grace periods, numbered from zero to N, which means that there were really N+1 grace periods. The root cause of this bug is that rcu_scale_writer() stores the number of the last grace period (numbered from zero) into writer_n_durations[me] instead of the number of grace periods. This commit therefore assigns the actual number of grace periods to writer_n_durations[me], and also makes the corresponding adjustment to the loop outputting per-grace-period measurements. Sample of old console output: rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 133 ...... rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 0 44003961 rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 1 32003582 ...... rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 132 28004391 rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 133 27996410 Sample of new console output: rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 134 ...... rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 0 44003961 rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 1 32003582 ...... rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 132 28004391 rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 133 27996410 Signed-off-by: Jiangong.Han <jiangong.han@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2021-03-08rcuscale: Add kfree_rcu() single-argument scale testUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters, kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to be tested determined randomly on each invocation. Both of these module parameters are initialized to false, so setting either to true will test only that variant. Suggested-by: Paul E.

2020-11-06rcuscale: Prevent hangs for invalid argumentsPaul E. McKenney
If an rcuscale torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate kernel shutdown if a rcu_scale_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case to clearly indicate the presence of an error. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

2020-08-24rcuperf: Change rcuperf to rcuscalePaul E. McKenney
This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf to rcuscale. [ paulmck: Fix bugs located by Stephen Rothwell. ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
