The TREE01 rcutorture scenario intentionally creates confusion as to the
number of available CPUs by specifying the "maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43" kernel
boot parameters. This can disable rcutorture's load shedding, which
currently uses num_online_cpus(), which would count the extra 35 CPUs.
However, the rcutorture guest OS will be provisioned with only 8 CPUs,
which means that rcutorture will present full load even when all but one
of the original 8 CPUs are offline. This can result in spurious errors
due to extreme overloading of that single remaining CPU.
This commit therefore keeps a separate set of books on the number of
usable online CPUs, so that torture_num_online_cpus() is used for load
shedding instead of num_online_cpus(). Note that initial sizing must
use num_online_cpus() because torture_num_online_cpus() will return
NR_CPUS until shortly after torture_onoff_init() is invoked.

Currently, stutter_wait() will happily spin waiting for the stutter
interval to end even if the caller is running at a real-time priority
level. This could starve normal-priority tasks for no good reason. This
commit therefore drops the calling task's priority to SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE
if stutter_wait() needs to wait. But when it waits, stutter_wait()
returns true, which allows the caller to restore the priority if needed.
Callers that were already running at SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE obviously
do not need any changes, but this commit also restores priority for
higher-priority callers.

the high-resolution timers via schedule_hrtimeout(), and also to fuzz

Running locktorture scenario LOCK05 results in hangs:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --torture lock --duration 3 --configs LOCK05
The lock_torture_writer() kthreads set themselves to MAX_NICE while
running SCHED_OTHER. Other locktorture kthreads run at default niceness,
also SCHED_OTHER. This results in these other locktorture kthreads
indefinitely preempting the lock_torture_writer() kthreads. Note that
the cond_resched() in the stutter_wait() function's loop is ineffective
because this scenario is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
It is not clear that such indefinite preemption is supposed to happen, but
in the meantime this commit prevents kthreads running in stutter_wait()
from being completely CPU-bound, thus allowing the other threads to get
some CPU in a timely fashion. This commit also uses hrtimers to provide
very short sleeps to avoid degrading the sudden-on testing that stutter
is supposed to provide.

In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there
is more than one CPU online. However, in practice, in normal production
there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running.
Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug
operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most
systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot.
This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel
boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until
about the time that init is spawned.
Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations,
then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests.
You might also want to look at the splats linked to below.

Currently, the inter-stutter interval is the same as the stutter duration,
that is, whatever number of jiffies is passed into torture_stutter_init().
This has worked well for quite some time, but the addition of
forward-progress testing to rcutorture can delay processes for several
seconds, which can triple the time that they are stuttered.
This commit therefore adds a second argument to torture_stutter_init()
that specifies the inter-stutter interval. While locktorture preserves
the current behavior, rcutorture uses the RCU CPU stall warning interval
to provide a wider inter-stutter interval.

The stutter_wait() function is supposed to return true if it actually
waits and false otherwise, but it instead unconditionally returns false.
Which hides a bug in rcu_torture_writer() that fails to account for
the fact that one of the rcu_tortures[] array elements will normally be
referenced by rcu_torture_current, and thus not be on the freelist.
This commit therefore corrects the stutter_wait() return value and adds a
check for rcu_torture_current to rcu_torture_writer()'s check that things
get freed after everything goes quiescent. In addition, this commit
causes torture_stutter() to give a bit more than one second (instead of
only one jiffy) warning of the end of the stutter interval. Finally,
this commit disables long-delay readers and aggressive update-side
forward-progress checks while forward-progress testing is in flight.

Commit e31d28b6ab ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.
A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()

the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.
This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to
cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's
benchmark_event_kthread() function.

Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
