The rcutorture scripting handles the CONFIG_*_TORTURE_TEST Kconfig
options specially, and therefore greps them out of the Kconfig-fragment
files. Unfortunately, a poor choice of grep pattern means that the
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
and CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT Kconfig options are also grepped
out, preventing rcutorture from using them. This commit therefore fixes
the offending grep pattern to focus only on the CONFIG_*_TORTURE_TEST
Kconfig options.

Kconfig "select" clauses can defeat Kconfig-fragment file attempts to
clear a given Kconfig variable, and dependencies can defeat attempts to
set a given Kconfig variable. Because "select" clauses and dependencies
can be added at any time, there needs to be a way to verify that the
Kconfig-fragment file's requests were honored. And there is, except
that it is buggy. This commit therefore provides the needed fix.

Currently, the rcutorture scripting will give an error message if
running a duplicate scenario that happens also to have a non-existent
build directory (b1, b2, ... in the rcutorture directory). Worse yet, if
the build directory has already been created and used for a real build,
the script will silently grab the wrong Kconfig fragment, which could
cause confusion to the poor sap (me) analyzing old test results. At
least the actual test runs correctly...
This commit therefore accesses the Kconfig fragment from the results
directory corresponding to the first of the duplicate scenarios, for
which a build was actually carried out. This prevents both the messages
and at least one form of later confusion.

The vmlinux image is available for all the architectures, and suitable
for running a KVM guest by QEMU, besides, we used to copy the vmlinux
to $resdir anyway. Therefore it makes sense to use it as the fallback
kernel image for rcutorture KVM tests.
This patch makes identify_boot_image() return vmlinux if
${TORTURE_BOOT_IMAGE} is not set on non-x86 architectures, also fixes
several places that hard-code "bzImage" as $KERNEL.

Currently, the console output files ("console.log") are placed in the

One problem with this is if a qemu refuses to die in a timely fashion
after a kernel hang, it will continue to write after the next qemu

Normal rcutorture checking overestimates grace periods somewhat due to
the fact that there is a delay from a grace-period request until the
start of the corresponding grace period and another delay from the end
of that grace period to notification of the requestor. This means that
rcutorture's detection of RCU bugs is less sensitive than it might be.
It turns out that rcutorture also checks the underlying grace-period
"completed" counter (displayed in Reader Batch output), which in theory
allows rcutorture to do exact checks. In practice, memory misordering
(by both compiler and CPU) can result in false positives. However,
experience on x86 shows that these false positives are quite rare,
occurring less than one time per 1,000 hours of testing. This commit
therefore does the exact checking, giving a warning if any Reader Batch
blows happen, and flagging an error if they happen more often than
once every three hours in long tests.
