MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as
unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the
most unloved drivers anyway.

A long-running rcutorture test can overflow dmesg, so that the line
containing the module parameters is lost. Although it is usually possible
to retrieve this information from the log files, it is much better to just
tag it onto the final success/failure line so that it may be easily found.
This patch does just that.

rcu_torture_lock is used in a softirq-unsafe manner, but it is also
taken by rcu_torture_cb(), which may execute in softirq-context,
resulting in potential deadlocks.
The fix is to acquire rcu_torture_lock in a softirq-safe manner. With
this fix applied, the rcu-torture code passes validation.

This patch forces RCU torture threads off various CPUs in the system
allowing them to become idle and go tickless. Meant to test support for
such tickless idle CPU in RCU.

This patch contains the following cleanups:
- make needlessly global functions static
- every file should include the headers containing the prototypes for
it's global functions

While doing some test of RCU torture module, I hit a OOPS in rcu_do_batch,
which was trying to processes callback of a module that was just removed.
This is because we weren't waiting long enough for all callbacks to fire.

One issue with the RCU torture test is that the current error flagging can
be lost in dmesg. This patch adds a "SUCCESS"/"FAILURE" string to the line
that flags the end of the test, where it can easily be seen with "dmesg |
tail" at the end of the test. Also adds tests of architecture-specific
memory barriers -- or, more likely, of the RCU torture test itself.

Make the box usable for interactive work when running the RCU torture test,
by renicing the RCU torture-test threads to +19 by default. Kthreads run
at nice -5 by default.

This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2).
This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an
intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the
continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks,
CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file
that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how
to run the test and interpret the output is also included.
This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the
code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of
the PREEMPT_RT patchset.
