Paul E. McKenney b02eb5b096 tools/memory-model: Add scripts to check github litmus tests
The https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus repository contains a large
number of C-language litmus tests that include "Result:" comments
predicting the verification result.  This commit adds a number of scripts
that run tests on these litmus tests:

checkghlitmus.sh:
	Runs all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
        archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
	documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
	those expected.  Clones the repository if it has not already
	been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.

initlitmushist.sh
	Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
	of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results in
	.litmus.out files.  Clones the repository if it has not already
	been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.

newlitmushist.sh
	For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
	specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
	and record the results in .litmus.out files.

checklitmushist.sh
	Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
	initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
	herd output to that of the original runs.

The above scripts will run litmus tests concurrently, by default with
one job per available CPU.  Giving any of these scripts the --help
argument will cause them to print usage information.

This commit also adds a number of helper scripts that are not intended
to be invoked from the command line:

cmplitmushist.sh: Compare the output of two different runs of the same
	litmus test.

judgelitmus.sh: Compare the output of a litmus test to its "Result:"
	comment line.

parseargs.sh: Parse command-line arguments.

runlitmushist.sh: Run the litmus tests whose pathnames are provided one
	per line on standard input.

While in the area, this commit also makes the existing checklitmus.sh
and checkalllitmus.sh scripts use parseargs.sh in order to provide a
bit of uniformity.  In addition, per-litmus-test status output is directed
to stdout, while end-of-test summary information is directed to stderr.
Finally, the error flag standardizes on "!!!" to assist those familiar
with rcutorture output.

The defaults for the parseargs.sh arguments may be overridden by using
environment variables: LKMM_DESTDIR for --destdir, LKMM_HERD_OPTIONS
for --herdoptions, LKMM_JOBS for --jobs, LKMM_PROCS for --procs, and
LKMM_TIMEOUT for --timeout.

============
LKMM SCRIPTS
============
These scripts are run from the tools/memory-model directory.
checkalllitmus.sh
Run all litmus tests in the litmus-tests directory, checking
the results against the expected results recorded in the
"Result:" comment lines.
checkghlitmus.sh
Run all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
those expected.
checklitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
herd output to that of the original runs.
checklitmus.sh
Check a single litmus test against its "Result:" expected result.
cmplitmushist.sh
Compare output from two different runs of the same litmus tests,
with the absolute pathnames of the tests to run provided one
name per line on standard input. Not normally run manually,
provided instead for use by other scripts.
initlitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results
in .litmus.out files.
judgelitmus.sh
Given a .litmus file and its .litmus.out herd output, check the
.litmus.out file against the .litmus file's "Result:" comment to
judge whether the test ran correctly. Not normally run manually,
provided instead for use by other scripts.
newlitmushist.sh
For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
and record the results in .litmus.out files.
parseargs.sh
Parse command-line arguments. Not normally run manually,
provided instead for use by other scripts.
runlitmushist.sh
Run the litmus tests whose absolute pathnames are provided one
name per line on standard input. Not normally run manually,
provided instead for use by other scripts.
