When bisecting RCU issues, it is often the case that the first error in an unsuccessful run will happen quickly, but that a successful run must go on for some time in order to obtain a sufficiently low false-negative error rate. In many cases, a bisection requires multiple concurrent runs, in which case the first failure in any run indicates failure, pure and simple. In such cases, it would speed things up greatly if the first failure terminated all runs. This commit therefore adds scripting that checks for a file named "STOP" in the top-level results directory, terminating the run when it appears. Note that in-progress builds will continue until completion, but future builds and all runs will be cut short. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
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 Restructured Text 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.
