rcu: Add CPU-stall capability to rcutorture
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. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
