[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/9] rcu: Add rcutorture system-shutdown capability

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Nov 15 2011 - 15:30:07 EST


From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

Although it is easy to run rcutorture tests under KVM, there is currently
no nice way to run such a test for a fixed time period, collect all of
the rcutorture data, and then shut the system down cleanly. This commit
therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter named "shutdown_secs" that
specified the run duration in seconds, after which rcutorture terminates
the test and powers the system down. The default value for "shutdown_secs"
is zero, which disables shutdown.

statistics are printed when the module is unloaded.
