In order to test the new SRCU-lockdep functionality, this commit adds an rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep module parameter that, when non-zero, selects an SRCU deadlock scenario to execute. This parameter is a five-digit number formatted as DNNL, where "D" is 1 to force a deadlock and 0 to avoid doing so; "NN" is the test number, 0 for SRCU-based, 1 for SRCU/mutex-based, and 2 for SRCU/rwsem-based; and "L" is the number of steps in the deadlock cycle. Note that rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep=1 will also force a hard hang. If a non-zero value of rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep does not select a deadlock scenario, a console message is printed and testing continues.

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.
