rcu: Add CPU-stall capability to rcutorture

Browse Source 
Add module parameters to rcutorture that induce a CPU stall.
The stall_cpu parameter specifies how long to stall in seconds,
defaulting to zero, which indicates no stalling is to be undertaken.
The stall_cpu_holdoff parameter specifies how many seconds after
insmod (or boot, if rcutorture is built into the kernel) that this
stall is to start.  The default value for stall_cpu_holdoff is ten
seconds.

@ -86,6 +86,24 @@ shutdown_secs The number of seconds to run the test before terminating
zero, which disables test termination and system shutdown.
This capability is useful for automated testing.
stall_cpu The number of seconds that a CPU should be stalled while
within both an rcu_read_lock() and a preempt_disable().
This stall happens only once per rcutorture run.
If you need multiple stalls, use modprobe and rmmod to
repeatedly run rcutorture. The default for stall_cpu
is zero, which prevents rcutorture from stalling a CPU.
Note that attempts to rmmod rcutorture while the stall
is ongoing will hang, so be careful what value you
choose for this module parameter! In addition, too-large
values for stall_cpu might well induce failures and
warnings in other parts of the kernel. You have been
warned!
stall_cpu_holdoff
The number of seconds to wait after rcutorture starts
before stalling a CPU. Defaults to 10 seconds.
stat_interval The number of seconds between output of torture
statistics (via printk()). Regardless of the interval,
statistics are printed when the module is unloaded.
