Hello, Frederic,
Based on our offlist discussion a few hours ago. Thoughts?
Thanx, Paul

torture: Provide bare-metal modprobe-based advice
In some environments, the torture-testing use of virtualization is
inconvenient. In such cases, the modprobe and rmmod commands may be
used to do torture testing, but significant setup is required to build,
boot, and modprobe a kernel so as to match a given torture-test scenario.
This commit therefore creates a "modprobe" file in each results directory
containing steps to run the corresponding scenario using the modprobe
command on bare metal. For example, the contents of this file after
using kvm.sh to build an rcutorture TREE01 kernel, perhaps with the
--buildonly argument, is as follows:
To run this scenario on bare metal:
1. Update your .config based on /home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.03-15.10.09/TREE01/ConfigFragment.
2. yes "" | make oldconfig
3. Build your kernel.
4. Boot with kernel parameters: maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43 rcutree.gp_preinit_delay=3 rcutree.gp_init_delay=3 rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay=3 rcu_nocbs=0-1,3-7
5. modprobe rcutorture nocbs_nthreads=8 nocbs_toggle=1000 fwd_progress=0 onoff_interval=1000 onoff_holdoff=30 n_barrier_cbs=4 stat_interval=15 shutdown_secs=120 test_no_idle_hz=1 verbose=1
