From 1462a200057df08be12f3719e1f37adbd2c6e4d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:40:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "prohibit rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel" This reverts commit 9aaffc898ff4a3df18c5fc4b9e0fa47e779ad726. 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. --- lib/Kconfig.debug | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug index d2099f41aa1e..f51ba2fa2662 100644 --- a/lib/Kconfig.debug +++ b/lib/Kconfig.debug @@ -531,13 +531,14 @@ config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY config RCU_TORTURE_TEST tristate "torture tests for RCU" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL - depends on m default n help This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests on the RCU infrastructure.
