Paul E. McKenney 9fdcb9afe0 rcutorture: Add self-propagating callback to forward-progress testing
If rcutorture is run on a quiet system with the rcutorture.stutter module
parameter set high, then there can legitimately be an extended period
during which no RCU forward progress takes place.  This can result
in false-positive no-forward-progress splats.  This commit therefore
makes rcu_torture_fwd_prog() create a self-propagating RCU callback
to ensure that grace periods are in progress for the duration of the
forward-progress test.

Note that the RCU flavor under test must define ->call(), ->sync(),
and ->cb_barrier() for this self-propagating callback to be created.
If one or more of those rcu_torture_ops fields are NULL, then the
rcu_torture_fwd_prog() function will silently proceed without creating
the self-propagating callback.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
