lib/test_lockup: test module to generate lockups

CONFIG_TEST_LOCKUP=m adds module "test_lockup" that helps to make sure
that watchdogs and lockup detectors are working properly.

Depending on module parameters test_lockup could emulate soft or hard
lockup, "hung task", hold arbitrary lock, allocate bunch of pages.

Also it could generate series of lockups with cooling-down periods, in
this way it could be used as "ping" for locks or page allocator.  Loop
checks signals between iteration thus could be stopped by ^C.

Parameters for locking by address are unsafe and taints kernel. With
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y they at least check magics for embedded spinlocks.

Examples:

task hang in D-state:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=D

task hang in io-wait D-state:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=D iowait

softlockup:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=R

hardlockup:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=R disable_irq

system-wide hardlockup:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=R \
 disable_irq all_cpus

rcu stall:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=R \
 lock_rcu touch_softlockup

lock mmap_sem / block procfs interfaces:
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=S lock_mmap_sem

lock tasklist_lock for read / block forks:
TASKLIST_LOCK=$(awk '$3 == "tasklist_lock" {print "0x"$1}' /proc/kallsyms)
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=R \
 disable_irq lock_read lock_rwlock_ptr=$TASKLIST_LOCK

lock namespace_sem / block vfs mount operations:
NAMESPACE_SEM=$(awk '$3 == "namespace_sem" {print "0x"$1}' /proc/kallsyms)
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=S \
 lock_rwsem_ptr=$NAMESPACE_SEM

lock cgroup mutex / block cgroup operations:
CGROUP_MUTEX=$(awk '$3 == "cgroup_mutex" {print "0x"$1}' /proc/kallsyms)
modprobe test_lockup time_secs=1 iterations=60 state=S \
 lock_mutex_ptr=$CGROUP_MUTEX

ping cgroup_mutex every second and measure maximum lock wait time:
modprobe test_lockup cooldown_secs=1 iterations=60 state=S \
 lock_mutex_ptr=$CGROUP_MUTEX reacquire_locks measure_lock_wait
