This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section. Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled. Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
