[PATCH 2/4] printk/lib: simulate slow consoles

[Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>]

*** FOR TESTING ***

Add a hack to delay console_drivers and simulate slow console(s). Doing
something like

	preempt_disable();
	while (...) {
		printk();
		delay();
	}
	preempt_enable();

is not correct. First, not every printk() ends up in console_unlock(),
second - delay should happen in console_unlock() if we want to test
printk() offloading, not outside of printk().

A simple test_printk.sh script to run the tests:

8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEST_CASE=1
_MAX_NUM_MESSAGES=1024
_CONSOLE_DRIVERS_DELAY=3500

sysctl kernel.watchdog_thresh=5

if [ "z$MAX_NUM_MESSAGES" != "z" ]; then
	_MAX_NUM_MESSAGES=$MAX_NUM_MESSAGES
fi

if [ "z$CONSOLE_DRIVERS_DELAY" != "z" ]; then
	_CONSOLE_DRIVERS_DELAY=$CONSOLE_DRIVERS_DELAY
fi

while [ $TEST_CASE -le 256 ]; do
	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/printk/offloading/enable
	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

	echo "Executing test $TEST_CASE"

	modprobe test_printk max_num_messages=$_MAX_NUM_MESSAGES \
		console_drivers_delay=$_CONSOLE_DRIVERS_DELAY \
		tests_mask=$TEST_CASE

	TEST_DONE=`cat /sys/test_printk/test_done`
	while [ $TEST_DONE -ne 1 ]; do
		sleep 1s;
		let TEST_DONE=`cat /sys/test_printk/test_done`
	done

	rmmod test_printk

	echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/printk/offloading/enable
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace > /tmp/trace-test_case-$TEST_CASE

	echo "Done... cat /tmp/trace-test_case-$TEST_CASE"
	cat /tmp/trace-test_case-$TEST_CASE

	echo "================================================================"

	let TEST_CASE=$TEST_CASE*2
done

sysctl kernel.watchdog_thresh=10
