This new torture_sched_set_normal() function clamps the nice value at
the MIN_NICE..MAX_NICE limits, splatting it these limits are exceeded.
It then invokes sched_set_normal() to set the new value. This prevents
more difficult-to-debug failures within the scheduler.

Currently, all calls to torture_hrtimeout_ns() either provide a non-zero
fuzzt_ns or a NULL trsp, either of which avoids taking the modulus of a
zero-valued fuzzt_ns. But this code should do a better job of defending
itself, so this commit explicitly checks fuzzt_ns and avoids the modulus
when its value is zero.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

CPU-hotplug operations invoke stop-machine, which can hog CPUs, which is
not a great thing to do before boot has completed. This commit therefore
makes the CPU-hotplug operations hold off until boot has completed.

Sometimes a given system takes surprisingly long to boot, for example,
in one recent case, 70 seconds instead of three seconds. It would
be good to fix these slow-boot issues, but it would also be good for
the torture tests to announce that the system was still booting at the
start of the test. Especially for tests that have a greater probability
of false positives when run in the single-CPU boot-time environment.
Yes, those tests should defend themselves, but we should also make this
situation easier to diagnose.
This commit therefore causes torture_print_module_parms() to print
"still booting" at the end of its printk() that dumps out the values of
its module parameters.

This commit adds a get_torture_init_jiffies() function that returns the
value of the jiffies counter at the start of the test, that is, at the
point where torture_init_begin() was invoked.
This will be used to enable torture-test holdoffs for tests implemented
using per-CPU kthreads, which are created and deleted by CPU-hotplug
operations, and thus (unlike normal kthreads) don't automatically know
when the test started.

The stuttering code isn't functioning as expected. Ideally, it should
pause the torture threads for a designated period before resuming. Yet,
it fails to halt the test for the correct duration. Additionally, a race
condition exists, potentially causing the stuttering code to pause for
an extended period if the 'spt' variable is non-zero due to the stutter
orchestration thread's inadequate CPU time.
Moreover, over-stuttering can hinder RCU's progress on TREE07 kernels.
This happens as the stuttering code may run within a softirq due to RCU
callbacks. Consequently, ksoftirqd keeps a CPU busy for several seconds,
thus obstructing RCU's progress. This situation triggers a warning
message in the logs:
[ 2169.481783] rcu_torture_writer: rtort_pipe_count: 9
This warning suggests that an RCU torture object, although invisible to
RCU readers, couldn't make it past the pipe array and be freed -- a
strong indication that there weren't enough grace periods during the
stutter interval.
To address these issues, this patch sets the "stutter end" time to an
absolute point in the future set by the main stutter thread. This is
then used for waiting in stutter_wait(). While the stutter thread still
defines this absolute time, the waiters' waiting logic doesn't rely on
the stutter thread receiving sufficient CPU time to halt the stuttering
as the halting is now self-controlled.

The current torture-test sleeps are waiting for a duration, but there
are situations where it is better to wait for an absolute time, for
example, when ending a stutter interval. This commit therefore adds
an hrtimer mode parameter to torture_hrtimeout_ns(). Why not also the
other torture_hrtimeout_*() functions? The theory is that most absolute
times will be in nanoseconds, especially not (say) jiffies.

During rcutorture shutdown, the rcu_torture_cleanup() function calls
torture_cleanup_begin(), which sets the fullstop global variable to
FULLSTOP_RMMOD. This causes the rcutorture threads for readers and
fakewriters to exit all of their "while" loops and start shutting down.
They then call torture_kthread_stopping(), which in turn waits for
kthread_stop() to be called. However, rcu_torture_cleanup() has
not yet called kthread_stop() on those threads, and before it gets a
chance to do so, multiple instances of torture_kthread_stopping() invoke
schedule_timeout_interruptible(1) in a tight loop. Tracing confirms that
TIMER_SOFTIRQ can then continuously execute timer callbacks. If that
TIMER_SOFTIRQ preempts the task executing rcu_torture_cleanup(), that
task might never invoke kthread_stop().
This commit improves this situation by increasing the timeout passed to
schedule_timeout_interruptible() from one jiffy to 1/20th of a second.
This change prevents TIMER_SOFTIRQ from monopolizing its CPU, thus
allowing rcu_torture_cleanup() to carry out the needed kthread_stop()
invocations. Testing has shown 100 runs of TREE07 passing reliably,
as oppose to the tens-of-percent failure rates seen beforehand.

Currently, _torture_create_kthread() uses kthread_run() to create
torture-test kthreads, which means that the resulting task_struct
pointer is stored after the newly created kthread has been marked
runnable. This in turn can cause spurious failure of checks for
code being run by a particular kthread. This commit therefore changes
_torture_create_kthread() to use kthread_create(), then to do an explicit
wake_up_process() after the task_struct pointer has been stored.

Right now, if a given kthread (call it "kthread") realizes that it needs
to stop, "Stopping kthread" is written to the console. When the cleanup
code decides that it is time to stop that kthread, "Stopping kthread
tasks" is written to the console. These two events might happen in
either order, especially in the case of time-based torture-test shutdown.
But it is hard to distinguish these, especially for those unfamiliar with
the torture tests. This commit therefore changes the first case from
"Stopping kthread" to "kthread is stopping" to make things more clear.
