The rcutorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying a
type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly". This commit
therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.

We have had the call_rcu_func_t typedef for a quite awhile, but we still
use explicit function pointer types in some places. These types can
confuse cscope and can be hard to read. This patch therefore replaces
these types with the call_rcu_func_t typedef.

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we
should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This
could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function
requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument.
Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for
code reading.

The get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions
allow polling for grace-period completion, with an actual wait for a
grace period occurring only when cond_synchronize_rcu() is called too
soon after the corresponding get_state_synchronize_rcu(). However,
these functions work only for vanilla RCU. This commit adds the
get_state_synchronize_sched() and cond_synchronize_sched(), which provide
the same capability for RCU-sched.

Although RCU-tasks isn't really designed to support rcu_dereference()
and list manipulation, that is how rcutorture tests it. Which means
that lockdep-RCU complains about the rcu_dereference_check() invocations
because RCU-tasks doesn't have read-side markers. This commit therefore
creates a torturing_tasks() to silence the lockdep-RCU complaints from
rcu_dereference_check() when RCU-tasks is being tortured.

The rcu_torture_cbflood() function correctly checks for flavors of
RCU that lack analogs to call_rcu() and rcu_barrier(), but in that
case it fails to terminate correctly. In fact, it terminates so
incorrectly that segfaults can result. This commit therefore causes
rcu_torture_cbflood() to do the proper wait-for-stop procedure.

The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions
N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs. This avoids
rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture.
This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders
to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example
rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5
provisions N+3 kthreads.

The "if" statement at the beginning of rcu_torture_writer() should
use the same set of variables. In theory, this does not matter because
the corresponding variables (gp_sync and gp_sync1) have the same value
at this point in the code, but in practice such puzzles should be
removed. This commit therefore makes the use of variables consistent.

Currently, rcutorture's Reader Batch checks measure from the end of
the previous grace period to the end of the current one. This commit
tightens up these checks by measuring from the start and end of the same
grace period. This involves adding rcu_batches_started() and friends
corresponding to the existing rcu_batches_completed() and friends.
We leave SRCU alone for the moment, as it does not yet have a way of
tracking both ends of its grace periods.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:
[ 94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[ 94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task
Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.
This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested. This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks. One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods. The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous
grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around
call_rcu() invocations. The testing of these synchronous primitives
was delegated to the fake writers. However, there really is no excuse

is somewhat more elaborate. This commit therefore makes the default

The rcu_torture_reader() function currently uses schedule(). This commit

This change makes rcu_torture_reader() more CPU-bound, so this commit
