2026-01-04rcutorture: Add --kill-previous option to terminate previous kvm.sh runsJoel Fernandes
When kvm.sh is killed, its child processes (make, gcc, qemu, etc.) may continue running. This prevents new kvm.sh instances from starting even though the parent is gone. Add a --kill-previous option that uses fuser(1) to terminate all processes holding the flock file before attempting to acquire it. This provides a clean way to recover from stale/zombie kvm.sh runs which sometimes may have lots of qemu and compiler processes still disturbing.

2026-01-04rcutorture: Prevent concurrent kvm.sh runs on same source treeJoel Fernandes
Add flock-based locking to kvm.sh to prevent multiple instances from running concurrently on the same source tree. This prevents build failures caused by one instance's "make clean" deleting generated files while another instance is building causing build failures. The lock file is placed in the rcutorture directory and added to .gitignore. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Tested-by: Paul E.

2026-01-01torture: Include commit discription in testid.txtPaul E. McKenney
Currently, the testid.txt file in the top-level directory of the rcutorture results contains the output of "git rev-parse HEAD", which just gives the full SHA-1 of the current commit. This is followed by the output of "git status", which is further followed by the output of "git diff". This works, but is less than helpful to human readers scanning a list of commits. This commit therefore instead uses "git show --oneline --no-patch HEAD", which provides a short SHA-1, but also the names of any branches and the commit's title. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2026-01-01torture: Parallelize kvm-series.sh guest-OS executionPaul E. McKenney
Currently, kvm-series.sh builds and runs serially, which makes for long execution times. This commit changes its logic to build all of the needed kernels serially, but then run the corresponding guest OSes concurrently in batches using the entire machine.

2025-11-30Merge branch 'rcu/misc' into nextFrederic Weisbecker
- In order to prepare the layout for nohz_full work deferral to user exit, the context tracking state must shrink the counter of transitions to/from RCU not watching. The only possible hazard is to trigger wrap-around more easily, delaying a bit grace periods when that happens. This should be a rare event though. Yet add debugging and torture code to test that assumption. - Fix memory leak on locktorture module - Annotate accesses in rculist_nulls.h to prevent from KCSAN warnings. On recent discussions, we also concluded that all those WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE() on list APIs deserve appropriate comments. Something to be expected for the next cycle. - Provide a script to apply several configs to several commits with torture. - Allow torture to reuse a build directory in order to save needless rebuild time. - Various cleanups.

2025-11-06rcutorture: Permit kvm-again.sh to re-use the build directoryPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds "inplace" and "inplace-force" values to the kvm-again.sh "--link" argument, which causes the run's output to be placed into the build directory. This could be used to save build time if the machine went down partway into a run, but it can also be used to do a large number of builds, and run the resulting kernels concurrently even if the builds are based on different commits. A later commit will add this latter capability to kvm-series.sh in order to produce large speedups for branch-checking operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-07-16torture: Extract testid.txt generation to separate scriptPaul E. McKenney
The kvm.sh script places a testid.txt file in the top-level results directory in order to identify the tree and commit that was tested. This works well, but there are scripts other than kvm.sh that also create results directories, and it would be good for them to also identify exactly what was tested.

This commit therefore makes --no-rcutasksflavors be the default on arm64. Once kvm.sh automatically deselects CONFIG_SMP=n rcutorture scenarios on arm64, the two lines marked "FIXME" can be changed back from "${ifnotaarch64}" to "yes".

2025-06-25torture: Make torture.sh KCSAN runs set CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_CHK_RDR_STATE=yPaul E. McKenney
The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_CHK_RDR_STATE Kconfig option is used for low-level debugging of rcutorture's generation of overlapping and nested RCU readers. It incurs significant overhead, and is thus not to be used lightly. But if it is not tested regularly, it won't be there when it is needed, for example, it would have found an rcutorture bug in the testing of srcu_up_read(). This commit therefore uses CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_CHK_RDR_STATE=y when building KCSAN kernels, but only for the --do-rcutorture case.

This commit therefore adds a --do-normal argument so that "--kcsan --do-no-kasan --do-no-normal" runs only KCSAN runs.

This tradition has served scftorture well, even the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y version running KASAN within guest OSes having 40 CPUs. However, this test recently started OOMing on larger systems, and this commit therefore gives this test an additional GB of memory.

2024-02-21clocksource: Scale the watchdog read retries automaticallyFeng Tang
On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns, wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'. sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152) clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896. clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs. The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta (latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs. There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime. Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

When debugging, it can be difficult to quickly find the ftrace dump within the console log, which in turn makes it difficult to process it independent of the rest of the console output. This commit therefore copies the contents of the buffers into its own file to make it easier to locate and process the ftrace dump. The original ftrace dump is still available in the console log in cases because it can be more convenient to process it in situ, for example, for scripts that process console output as well as ftrace-dump data. Also handle the case of multiple ftrace dumps potentially showing up in the log. Example for a file like [1], it will extract as [2]. [1]: foo foo Dumping ftrace buffer: --------------------------------- blah blah --------------------------------- more bar baz Dumping ftrace buffer: --------------------------------- blah2 blah2 --------------------------------- bleh bleh [2]: Ftrace dump 1: blah blah Ftrace dump 2: blah2 blah2 [ paulmck: Fixed awk indentation, input up front. ] Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2023-07-20torture: Cause mkinitrd.sh to indicate failure on compile errorsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, if the C program created by mkinitrd.sh has compile errors, the errors are printed, but kvm.sh soldiers on, building kernels that have init-less initrd setups. The kernels then fail on boot when they attempt to mount non-existent root filesystems. This commit therefore improves user friendliness by making mkinitrd.sh return non-zero exit status on compile errors, which in turn causes kvm.sh to take an early exit, with the compile errors still clearly visible.
