The kvm-test-1-run.sh script says 'test -z "last_ts"' which always
evaluates to true (AKA zero) regardless of the value of the last_ts shell
variable. This commit therefore inserts the needed dollar sign ("$").

When trace_printk() is used, a message including "BUG" is printed to
the console, which fools the rcutorture scripting into believing that
the corresponding test scenario failed. This commit therefore filters
out this particular instance of "BUG", thus avoiding the false-positive
test-failure report.

The current rcutorture scripts unconditionally do "make clean", which is
a good way of getting the needed testing done despite any imperfections in
Makefile dependency tracking. However, this can be a bit irritating when
repeatedly running a single scenario after small changes, for example,
when debugging a problem that affects only a single scenario. This commit
therefore adds a --trust-make argument that suppresses the "make clean".
Even when using ccache, this speeds up kernel builds by up to almost an
order of magnitude on my laptop.

Currently, rcutorture will use relatively few CPUs to build the kernel
on a busy system, which is often as it should be. However, if the user
has used the --cpus argument to dedicate a specified number of CPUs to
this torture test, it would be good if the kernel build also made use
of them. This commit therefore changes the cpus2use.sh script to use
--cpus when specified and to do the idleness calculations otherwise.

For historical reasons, rcutorture places its build products in a
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/b1 directory using the O= kbuild
command-line argument. However, doing this requires that the source
directory be pristine: Not just "make clean" pristine, but instead "make
mrproper" (or, equivalently, "make distclean") pristine. Therefore,
rcutorture executes a "make mrproper" before each build. Unfortunately,
"make mrproper" has the side effect of removing pretty much everything,
including tags files and cscope databases, which can be inconvenient
to people whose workflow centers around a single source tree.
This commit therefore makes rcutorture do the build directly in the
source directory, removing the need for "make mrproper". This works
because all needed build products are moved to their proper place in the
"res" directory immediately after the build completes, so that multiple
rcutorture kernels can still run concurrently.

Currently qemu output appears on standard output, but is inaccessible
later on. This commit therefore captures this output and causes
kvm-recheck.sh to output this output if QEMU gave a non-zero non-137
exit code. (And exit code of 137 indicates that QEMU was killed, in
which case we want to know about the hang rather than the fact that
QEMU was killed.)

In one of my rcutorture tests the TSC clocksource got marked unstable
due to a large difference in the TSC value. I'm not sure if the guest
run for a long time with disabled interrupts or if the host was very
busy and didn't schedule the guest for some time.
I took a look on the qemu/KVM options and decided to update the options:
- Use kvm{32|64} as CPU. We could probably use `host' (like ARM does)
for maximum available features but since we don't run any userland I'm
not sure if it makes any difference.
- Drop the "noapic" option. There is no history why the APIC was disabled,
I see no reason for it. Once old qemu versions fade away, we can add
"x2apic=on,tsc-deadline=on,hypervisor=on,tsc_adjust=on".
- Additional config options. It ensures that the kernel knowns that it
runs as a kvm guest and can use virt devices like the kvm-clock as
clocksource. The kvm-clock was the main motivation here.
- I didn't add a random HW device. It would make the random device ready
earlier (not it doesn't complete the initialisation at all) but I
doubt that there is any need for this.

The rcutorture jitter.sh script selects a random CPU but does not check

The scripting must supply the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE Kconfig option
so that kbuild can find the desired initrd, but the configcheck.sh
script gets confused by this option because it takes a string instead
of the expected y/n/m. This causes checkconfig.sh to complain about
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE in the torture-test output (though not in the
summary). As more people use rcutorture, the resulting confusion is
an increasing concern.
This commit therefore suppresses this false-positive warning by filtering
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE from within the checkconfig.sh script.

The support for creating initrd directories using dracut is a great
improvement over having to always hand-create them, it is a bit annoying
to have to install some otherwise irrelevant package just to be able to
run rcutorture. This commit therefore adds support for creating initrd
directories on systems innocent of dracut. You do need gcc, but then
again you need that to build the kernel (or to build llvm) in any case.
The idea is to create an initrd directory containing nothing but a
statically linked binary having a for-loop over a long-term sleep().
The result is a Linux kernel with almost no userspace: even the
time-honored /dev, /lib, /tmp, and /usr directories are gone. In fact,
the only directory present is "/", but only because I don't know how to
get rid of it, at least short of not having an initrd in the first place.
Although statically linked binaries are much maligned, and rightly so,
their disadvantages seem to be irrelevant for this particular use case.
From https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/no_static_linking.html:
1. Fixes are difficult to apply to hordes of widely scattered
statically linked binaries. But in this case, there is only one
binary, but there would otherwise be no fewer than four libraries.
2. Security measures like local address randomization cannot be used.
Prudence prevents me from asserting that it is impossible to
base a remote attack on a networking-free rcutorture instance.
Nevertheless, bonus points to the first person who comes up with
such an attack!
3. More efficient use of physical memory. Not in this case, given
that libc is 1.8MB and the statically linked binary "only" 800K.
4. Features such as locales, name service switch (NSS),
internationalized domain names (IDN) tool, and so on require
dynamic linking. Bonus points to the first person coming up
with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in
its initrd.
5. Accidental violations of (L)GPL. Actually, this change actually
helps -avoid- such violations by reducing the temptation to
pass around tarballs of rcutorture-ready initrd directories.
After all, the rcutorture scripts automatically create an initrd
directory for you, so why bother with the tarballs?
6. Tools and hacks like ltrace, LD_PRELOAD, LD_PROFILE, and LD_AUDIT
don't work. Again, bonus points to the first person coming up
with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in
its initrd.
Nevertheless, the script will use dracut if available, and will create the
statically linked binary only when dracut are missing. Those preferring
the smaller initrd directory resulting from the statically linked binary
(like me) are free to hand-edit mkinitrd.sh to remove the code using
dracut. ;-)

The rcutorture scripts currently expect the user to create the
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory. Should the user
fail to do this, the kernel build will fail with obscure and confusing
error messages. This commit therefore adds explicit checks for the
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory, and if not present,
creates one on systems on which dracut is installed. If this directory
could not be created, a less obscure error message is emitted and the
test is aborted.

The old approach placed all the build products into the b* directories,
which meant that some of these build products needed to be copied to
the proper directory in the res hierarchy. The new approach leaves
things like .config and the .o files in the b1 directory, but directs
build output and diagnostics directly to the proper directory in the
res hierarchy. Unfortunately, one of the copies was still carried out,
which could (and sometimes did) overwrite the build output and diagnostics
with obsolete output remaining in the b1 directory.

The torture scripting currently builds each kernel from a set of parallel
runs in its own build directory. This can waste quite a bit of space when
running large numbers of concurrent scenarios, and pointlessly given that

The rcutorture scripting scans the console output twice, once to look
for various sorts of hangs and again to find warnings and panics.
Unfortunately, only the output of the second scan gets written to the
console.log.diags file, which can cause hangs to be overlooked.
This commit therefore folds the parse-torture.sh script (which looks
for hangs) into the parse-console.sh script (which looks for warnings
and panics). This allows both types of failure information to be
added to console.log.diags, while still reliably removing this file
when it proves to be empty.
This also fixes a long-standing bug where rcuperf log files would
unconditionally complain about a hang.

The purpose of jitter is to expose concurrency bugs due to invalid
assumptions about forward progress. There is usually little point
in jitter when measuring performance. This commit therefore defaults
jitter off when running rcuperf. You can override this by specifying
the kvm.sh "--jitter" argument -after- the "--torture rcuperf"
argument. No idea why you would want this, but if you do, that is
how you do it.
One example of a conccurrency bug that this jitter might expose is one
in which the developer assumed that a given short region of code would be
guaranteed to execute within some short time limit. Such assumptions are
invalid in virtualized environments because the hupervisor can preempt
the guest OS at any point, even when the guest OS thinks that it has
disabled interrupts.
