Paul E. McKenney a36a99618b locktorture: Fix module unwind when bad torture_type specified
The locktorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying
a type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly".  This commit
therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.

Davidlohr Bueso 095777c417 locktorture: Support rtmutex torturing
Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:

o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.

o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.

The locktorture long delays are in milliseconds rather than microseconds,

Davidlohr Bueso e34191fad8 locktorture: Support rwlocks
Add a "rw_lock" torture test to stress kernel rwlocks and their irq
variant. Reader critical regions are 5x longer than writers. As such
a similar ratio of lock acquisitions is seen in the statistics. In the
case of massive contention, both hold the lock for 1/10 of a second.

Davidlohr Bueso 4f6332c1dc locktorture: Add infrastructure for torturing read locks
Most of it is based on what we already have for writers. This allows
readers to be very independent (and thus configurable), enabling
future module parameters to control things such as rw distribution.
Furthermore, readers have their own delaying function, allowing us
to test different rw critical region latencies, and stress locking
internals. Similarly, statistics, for now will only serve for the
number of lock acquisitions -- as opposed to writers, readers have
no failure detection.

In addition, introduce a new nreaders_stress module parameter. The
default number of readers will be the same number of writers threads.
Writer threads are interleaved with readers. Documentation is updated,
respectively.

Davidlohr Bueso d36a7a0d5e torture: Address race in module cleanup
When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:

[   94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[   94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task

Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

Davidlohr Bueso f095bfc0ea locktorture: Teach about lock debugging
Regular locks are very different than locks with debugging. For instance
for mutexes, debugging forces to only take the slowpaths. As such, the
locktorture module should take this into account when printing related
information -- specifically when printing user passed parameters, it seems
the right place for such info.

Davidlohr Bueso 42ddc75ddd locktorture: Support mutexes
Add a "mutex_lock" torture test. The main difference with the already
existing spinlock tests is that the latency of the critical region
is much larger. We randomly delay for (arbitrarily) either 500 ms or,
otherwise, 25 ms. While this can considerably reduce the amount of
writes compared to non blocking locks, if run long enough it can have
the same torturous effect. Furthermore it is more representative of
mutex hold times and can stress better things like thrashing.

The locktorture module references CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE,

randconfig testing could enable both rcutorture and locktorture
concurrently, which the torture tests are not set up for.  This
commit therefore removes the reference, so that test is runnable
immediately only when inserted as a module.
