This patch takes a step towards making rcutorture more brutal by allowing
the test to be automatically periodically paused, with the default being
to run the test for five seconds then pause for five seconds and repeat.
This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so
that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously.
Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction
with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the
grace-period detection code.
Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from
5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter"
interval.
I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing,
even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef
up rcutorture.

This reverts commit 9aaffc898f.
That commit was a very bad idea. RCU_TORTURE found many boot timing
bugs and other sorts of bugs in the past, so excluding it from
boot images is very silly.
The option already depends on DEBUG_KERNEL and is disabled by default.
Even when it runs, the test threads are reniced. If it annoys people
we could add a runtime sysctl.

We can't probe all legacy ISA IDE ports by default as the resources may be
occupied by other ISA devices. Add "probe_mask" module parameter and probe
only first two ISA IDE ports by default leaving the decision about probing
the rest to the user (systems with ISA ide2-6 should be very, very rare).

Ramtron FM3130 is a chip with two separate devices inside, RTC clock and
FRAM. This driver provides only RTC functionality.
This chip is met in lots of custom boards with AT91SAMXXXX CPU I work
with, is cheap and in no way better or worse than any other RTC on market.
While it is mostly met on much smaller devices, I think it is great to
have it supported in Linux.

More Kconfig tweaks related to the legacy PC RTC code:
- Describe the legacy PC RTC driver as such ... it's never quite
been clear that this driver is for PC RTCs, and now it's fair
to call this the "legacy" driver.
- Force it to understand about HPET stealing its IRQs ... kernel
code does this always when HPET is in use, there should be no
option for users to goof up the config.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.
The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.

We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.
However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.
This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.
What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.
Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).
This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.
Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).
This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.
