Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next

2014-06-03T21:00:15+00:00

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main scheduling related changes in this cycle were:

   - various sched/numa updates, for better performance

   - tree wide cleanup of open coded nice levels

   - nohz fix related to rq->nr_running use

   - cpuidle changes and continued consolidation to improve the
     kernel/sched/idle.c high level idle scheduling logic.  As part of
     this effort I pulled cpuidle driver changes from Rafael as well.

   - standardized idle polling amongst architectures

   - continued work on preparing better power/energy aware scheduling

   - sched/rt updates

   - misc fixlets and cleanups"

torture: Check for multiple concurrent torture tests

2014-05-14T16:46:29+00:00

The torture tests are designed to run in isolation, but do not enforce
this isolation.  This commit therefore checks for concurrent torture
tests, and refuses to start new tests while old tests are running.

locktorture: Remove reference to nonexistent Kconfig parameter

2014-05-14T16:46:28+00:00

The locktorture module references CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE,
which does not exist.  Which is a good thing, because otherwise
randconfig testing could enable both rcutorture and locktorture
concurrently, which the torture tests are not set up for.  This
commit therefore removes the reference, so that test is runnable
immediately only when inserted as a module.

torture: Intensify locking test

2014-05-14T00:03:01+00:00

The current lock_torture_writer() spends too much time sleeping and not
enough time hammering locks, as in an eight-CPU test will often only be
utilizing a CPU or two.  This commit therefore makes lock_torture_writer()
sleep less and hammer more.

rcutorture: Add a lock_busted to test the test

2014-02-23T17:04:43+00:00

This commit adds a maximally broken locking primitive in which
lock acquisition and release are both no-ops.
