Additional test patterns for memtest were introduced since commit
63823126c221 ("x86: memtest: add additional (regular) test patterns"),
but looks like Kconfig was not updated that time.

Update Kconfig entry with the actual number of maximum test patterns.

Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of
patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected
it reserves them via memblock API.  Since memblock API is widely used by
other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.

This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and
enables memtest feature for arm/arm64.

It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue
with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

This patch (of 6):

There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other
platforms might benefit from this feature too.

<title>timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays</title>

<id>3c17ad19f0697ffe5ef7438cdafc2d2b7757d8a5</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently there's been requests for better sanity
checking in the time code, so that it's more clear
when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues
could manifest in a large number of strange ways in
various subsystems.

Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to
add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new
warnings:

 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles'
    overflow point,

 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's
    'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the
    overflow point.

This extra infrastructure is conditional on
a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also
added in this patch - default off.

Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified
lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

Given that CPU-hotplug events are now applied only at the starts of
grace periods, it makes sense to unconditionally enable slow grace-period

Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period
initialization.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing
race-reproduction probability.  A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply.  A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified.  By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

In the past, it has been useful to enable PROVE_LOCKING without also
enabling PROVE_RCU.  However, experience with PROVE_RCU over the past
few years has demonstrated its usefulness, so this commit makes
PROVE_LOCKING directly imply PROVE_RCU.

In the past, it has been useful to enable PROVE_LOCKING without also
enabling PROVE_RCU.  However, experience with PROVE_RCU over the past
few years has demonstrated its usefulness, so this commit makes
PROVE_LOCKING directly imply PROVE_RCU.

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.

The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for &lt;objfile&gt;-gdb.py when
opening &lt;objfile&gt;.  Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.

The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.

Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb &gt;= 7.2.

This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.
