Some of the code invoked directly and indirectly from kvm.sh parses
the output of commands. This parsing assumes English, which can cause
failures if the user has set some other language. In a few cases,
there are language-independent commands available, but this is not
always the case. Therefore, as an alternative to polyglot parsing,
this commit sets the LANG environment variable to en_US.UTF-8.

Grepping for "CPU" on lscpu output isn't always successful, depending
on the local language setting. As a result, the build can be aborted
early with:
"make: the '-j' option requires a positive integer argument"

available via the getconf command, both in kvm-build.sh and in

Currently, kvm-find-errors.sh assumes that if "--buildonly" appears in
the log file, then the run did builds but ran no kernels. This breaks
with kvm-remote.sh, which uses kvm.sh to do a build, then kvm-again.sh
to run the kernels built on remote systems. This commit therefore adds
a check for a kvm-remote.sh run.
While in the area, this commit checks for "--build-only" as well as

Given remote rcutorture runs, it is quite possible that the build system
will have fewer CPUs than the system(s) running the actual test scenarios.
In such cases, using the number of CPUs on the test systems can overload
the build system, slowing down the build or, worse, OOMing the build
system. This commit therefore uses the build system's CPU count to set
N in "make -jN", and by tradition sets "N" to double the CPU count.

This commit adds a kvm-remote.sh script that prepares a tarball that

The user is also responsible for setting up the remote systems so that
ssh can be run non-interactively, given that ssh is used to poll the
remote systems in order to detect completion of each batch.

This commit saves a few lines of code by making kvm-again.sh use the
"scenarios" file rather than the "batches" file, both of which are
generated by kvm.sh.
This results in a break point because new versions of kvm-again.sh cannot
handle "res" directories produced by old versions of kvm.sh, which lack
the "scenarios" file. In the unlikely event that this becomes a problem,
a trivial script suffices to convert the "batches" file to a "scenarios"

Because the TORTURE_TRUST_MAKE environment variable is not recorded,
kvm-again.sh runs can result in the parse-build.sh script emitting
false-positive "BUG: TREE03 no build" messages. These messages are
intended to complain about any lack of compiler invocations when the
--trust-make flag is not given to kvm.sh. However, when this flag is
given to kvm.sh (and thus when TORTURE_TRUST_MAKE=y), lack of compiler
invocations is expected behavior when rebuilding from identical source
code.
This commit therefore makes kvm-test-1-run.sh record the value of the

This commit creates a "batches" file in the res/$ds directory, where $ds
is the datestamp. This file contains the batches and the number of CPUs,
for example:

1 SRCU-P 8
2 TREE07 16
2 TREE01 8
3 TREE02 8
3 TREE04 8
3 TREE05 8

4 TRACE01 4
4 TRACE02 4
4 RUDE01 2
4 RUDE01.2 2

4 SRCU-t 1
4 SRCU-u 1
4 TASKS02 1
4 TINY01 1
5 TINY02 1
5 TREE09 1
The first column is the batch number, the second the scenario number
(possibly suffixed by a repetition number, as in "RUDE01.2"), and the
third is the number of CPUs required by that scenario. The last line
shows the number of CPUs expected by this batch file, which allows
the run to be re-batched if a different number of CPUs is available.

Remote rcutorture testing requires that jitter.sh continue to be
invoked from the generated script for local runs, but that it instead
be invoked on the remote system for distributed runs. This argues
for common jitterstart and jitterstop scripts. But it would be good
for jitterstart and jitterstop to control the name and location of the
"jittering" file, while continuing to have the duration controlled by
the caller of these new scripts.

parameters for jitter.sh, so that the jittering parameter precedes the
duration parameter.

Currently, jitter.sh execution is controlled by a time limit and by the

vulnerable to PID reuse. This commit therefore introduces a "jittering"
file in the date-stamp directory within "res" that must be present for
the jitter.sh scripts to continue executing. The time limit is still
in place in order to avoid disturbing runs featuring large trace dumps,
but the removal of the "jittering" file handles the panic-during-boot
scenario without relying on PIDs.

Currently, the script generated by kvm.sh does a "wait" to wait on both

"build.run" files in scenario directories, and these files are removed

In some environments, the torture-testing use of virtualization is
inconvenient. In such cases, the modprobe and rmmod commands may be used
to do torture testing, but significant setup is required to build, boot,
and modprobe a kernel so as to match a given torture-test scenario.
This commit therefore creates a "bare-metal" file in each results
directory containing steps to run the corresponding scenario using the
modprobe command on bare metal. For example, the contents of this file
after using kvm.sh to build an rcutorture TREE01 kernel, perhaps with
the --buildonly argument, is as follows:
To run this scenario on bare metal:
1. Set your bare-metal build tree to the state shown in this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/testid.txt
2. Update your bare-metal build tree's .config based on this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/ConfigFragment
3. Make the bare-metal kernel's build system aware of your .config updates:
$ yes "" | make oldconfig
4. Build your bare-metal kernel.
5. Boot your bare-metal kernel with the following parameters:
maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43 rcutree.gp_preinit_delay=3 rcutree.gp_init_delay=3 rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay=3 rcu_nocbs=0-1,3-7
6. Start the test with the following command:
$ modprobe rcutorture nocbs_nthreads=8 nocbs_toggle=1000 fwd_progress=0 onoff_interval=1000 onoff_holdoff=30 n_barrier_cbs=4 stat_interval=15 shutdown_secs=120 test_no_idle_hz=1 verbose=1
7. After some time, end the test with the following command:
$ rmmod rcutorture
8. Copy your bare-metal kernel's .config file, overwriting this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/.config
9. Copy the console output from just before the modprobe to just after
the rmmod into this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/console.log
10. Check for runtime errors using the following command:
$ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm-recheck.sh /home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19
