The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

   sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/testing/selftests`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

   wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
   tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
   cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
   sudo make install
   export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH


Does this change work without the latest grep? It seems to work on
grep (GNU grep) 3.7 when I ran quick test on kselftest_deps.sh with
your change.

Yes, AFAIK, "grep -E" is supported by various versions of grep.

We can see the following NEWS in grep-3.8 release announcement [1]:

"The egrep and fgrep commands, which have been deprecated since
 release 2.5.3 (2007), now warn that they are obsolescent and should
 be replaced by grep -E and grep -F."

Please split these into sepratate 5 patches. All rcu changes in one, net in
one, powerpc  etc.

OK, maybe 6 patches,
(1) rcutorture
(2) ftrace
(3) powerpc
(4) gpio
(5) net
(6) kselftest_deps.sh


The change looks good to me.

Thank you, I will send v2 later.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
