rcutorture: Add trivial RCU implementation
I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive environments for some time now: #define rcu_read_lock() #define rcu_read_unlock() #define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p) #define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v)) void synchronize_rcu(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu)); } Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3 kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0". This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof): #define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable() #define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable() In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to empty macros give or take a compiler barrier. However, the have been successfully tested with actual empty macros as well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
