Format: integer between 0 and 10
Default is 0.
+ scftorture.holdoff= [KNL]
+ Number of seconds to hold off before starting
+ test. Defaults to zero for module insertion and
+ to 10 seconds for built-in smp_call_function()
+ tests.
+
+ scftorture.longwait= [KNL]
+ Request ridiculously long waits randomly selected
+ up to the chosen limit in seconds. Zero (the
+ default) disables this feature. Please note
+ that requesting even small non-zero numbers of
+ seconds can result in RCU CPU stall warnings,
+ softlockup complaints, and so on.
+
+ scftorture.nthreads= [KNL]
+ Number of kthreads to spawn to invoke the
+ smp_call_function() family of functions.
+ The default of -1 specifies a number of kthreads
+ equal to the number of CPUs.
+
+ scftorture.onoff_holdoff= [KNL]
+ Number seconds to wait after the start of the
+ test before initiating CPU-hotplug operations.
+
+ scftorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]
+ Number seconds to wait between successive
+ CPU-hotplug operations. Specifying zero (which
+ is the default) disables CPU-hotplug operations.
+
+ scftorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL]
+ The number of seconds following the start of the
+ test after which to shut down the system. The
+ default of zero avoids shutting down the system.
+ Non-zero values are useful for automated tests.
+
+ scftorture.stat_interval= [KNL]
+ The number of seconds between outputting the
+ current test statistics to the console. A value
+ of zero disables statistics output.
+
+ scftorture.stutter_cpus= [KNL]
+ The number of jiffies to wait between each change
+ to the set of CPUs under test.
+
+ scftorture.use_cpus_read_lock= [KNL]
+ Use use_cpus_read_lock() instead of the default
+ preempt_disable() to disable CPU hotplug
+ while invoking one of the smp_call_function*()
+ functions.
+
+ scftorture.verbose= [KNL]
+ Enable additional printk() statements.
+
+ scftorture.weight_single= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_single() function with a zero
+ "wait" parameter. A value of -1 selects the
+ default if all other weights are -1. However,
+ if at least one weight has some other value, a
+ value of -1 will instead select a weight of zero.
+
+ scftorture.weight_single_wait= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_single() function with a
+ non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single.
+
+ scftorture.weight_many= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_many() function with a zero
+ "wait" parameter. See weight_single.
+ Note well that setting a high probability for
+ this weighting can place serious IPI load
+ on the system.
+
+ scftorture.weight_many_wait= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_many() function with a
+ non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single
+ and weight_many.
+
+ scftorture.weight_all= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_all() function with a zero
+ "wait" parameter. See weight_single and
+ weight_many.
+
+ scftorture.weight_all_wait= [KNL]
+ The probability weighting to use for the
+ smp_call_function_all() function with a
+ non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single
+ and weight_many.
+
skew_tick= [KNL] Offset the periodic timer tick per cpu to mitigate
xtime_lock contention on larger systems, and/or RCU lock
contention on all systems with CONFIG_MAXSMP set.
