When running locktorture on large systems, there will normally be enough RCU activity to ensure that there is a grace period in flight at all times. However, on smaller systems, RCU might well be idle the majority of the time. This situation can be inconvenient in cases where the RCU CPU stall warning is part of the debugging process. This commit therefore adds an call_rcu_chains module parameter to locktorture, allowing the user to specify the desired number of self-propagating call_rcu() chains. For good measure, immediately before invoking call_rcu(), the self-propagating RCU callback invokes start_poll_synchronize_rcu() to force the immediate start of a grace period, with the call_rcu() forcing another to start shortly thereafter. Booting with locktorture.call_rcu_chains=2 increases the probability of a stuck locking primitive resulting in an RCU CPU stall warning from about 25% to nearly 100%. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
