    tools/memory-model: Add scripts to check github litmus tests · e188d24a
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    The https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus repository contains a large
    number of C-language litmus tests that include "Result:" comments
    predicting the verification result.  This commit adds a number of scripts
    that run tests on these litmus tests:
    
    checkghlitmus.sh:
    	Runs all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
    
    
            archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
    	documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
    	those expected.  Clones the repository if it has not already
    	been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
    
    initlitmushist.sh
    	Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
    	of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results in
    	.litmus.out files.  Clones the repository if it has not already
    	been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
    
    newlitmushist.sh
    	For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
    	specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
    	and record the results in .litmus.out files.
    
    checklitmushist.sh
    	Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
    	initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
    	herd output to that of the original runs.
    
    The above scripts will run litmus tests concurrently, by default with
    one job per available CPU.  Giving any of these scripts the --help
    argument will cause them to print usage information.
    
    This commit also adds a number of helper scripts that are not intended
    to be invoked from the command line:
    
    cmplitmushist.sh: Compare the output of two different runs of the same
    	litmus test.
    
    judgelitmus.sh: Compare the output of a litmus test to its "Result:"
    	comment line.
    
    parseargs.sh: Parse command-line arguments.
    
    runlitmushist.sh: Run the litmus tests whose pathnames are provided one
    	per line on standard input.
    
    While in the area, this commit also makes the existing checklitmus.sh
    and checkalllitmus.sh scripts use parseargs.sh in order to provide a
    bit of uniformity.  In addition, per-litmus-test status output is directed
    to stdout, while end-of-test summary information is directed to stderr.
    Finally, the error flag standardizes on "!!!" to assist those familiar
    with rcutorture output.
    
    The defaults for the parseargs.sh arguments may be overridden by using
    environment variables: LKMM_DESTDIR for --destdir, LKMM_HERD_OPTIONS
    for --herdoptions, LKMM_JOBS for --jobs, LKMM_PROCS for --procs, and
    LKMM_TIMEOUT for --timeout.
