From 354ea05d0276384045fabbfd62ccd2d985defa9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul E. McKenney Date: Sat, 25 May 2019 12:36:53 -0700 Subject: rcutorture: Upper case solves the case of the vanishing NULL pointer Various security techniques can obfuscate pointer printouts on the console. Unfortunately, rcutorture relies on either "null" or all zeroes to identify the last few statistics printouts at the end of the test. These need to be identified because failing to do so will results in false-positive complaints about grace-period hangs. This commit therefore prints the "ver:" in capitals ("VER:") when the RCU-protected pointer has been set to NULL, which causes rcutorture's parse-console.sh script to correctly ignore these lines.
