Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/8] rcutorture: Make initrd/init execute in userspace
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 12:01:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181111200143.10177-3-paulmck@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181111200127.GA9511@linux.ibm.com>
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Currently, the initrd/init script and executable remain blocked almost
all the time. However, it is necessary to test nohz_full userspace
execution, which both variants of initrd/init fail to do. This commit
therefore causes initrd/init to spend about a millisecond per second
executing in userspace.
