Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 15cf39221e selftests/bpf: Add stress test for rqspinlock in NMI 
Introduce a kernel module that will exercise lock acquisition in the NMI
path, and bias toward creating contention such that NMI waiters end up
being non-head waiters. Prior to the rqspinlock fix made in the commit
0d80e7f951 ("rqspinlock: Choose trylock fallback for NMI waiters"), it
was possible for the queueing path of non-head waiters to get stuck in
NMI, which this stress test reproduces fairly easily with just 3 CPUs.

Both AA and ABBA flavors are supported, and it will serve as a test case
for future fixes that address this corner case. More information about
the problem in question is available in the commit cited above. When the
fix is reverted, this stress test will lock up the system.

To enable this test automatically through the test_progs infrastructure,
add a load_module_params API to exercise both AA and ABBA cases when
running the test.

Note that the test runs for at most 5 seconds, and becomes a noop after
that, in order to allow the system to make forward progress. In
addition, CPU 0 is always kept untouched by the created threads and
NMIs. The test will automatically scale to the number of available
online CPUs.

Note that at least 3 CPUs are necessary to run this test, hence skip the
selftest in case the environment has less than 3 CPUs available.

README 

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
