Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/8] rcutorture: Make initrd/init execute in userspace
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently, the initrd/init script and executable remain blocked almost
all the time. However, it is necessary to test nohz_full userspace
execution, which both variants of initrd/init fail to do. This commit
therefore causes initrd/init to spend about a millisecond per second
executing in userspace.
