Paul E. McKenney 354ea05d02 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.

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.
