Commit Message

Mark Brown Aug. 28, 2024, 11:27 p.m. UTC
Add a stress test which runs one more process than we have CPUs spinning
through a very recursive function with frequent syscalls immediately prior
to return and signals being injected every 100ms. The goal is to flag up
any scheduling related issues, for example failure to ensure that barriers
are inserted when moving a GCS using task to another CPU. The test runs for
a configurable amount of time, defaulting to 10 seconds.
