Currently, a system that stops responding at the wrong time will hang
kvm-remote.sh. This can happen when the system in question is forced
offline for maintenance, and there is currently no way for the user
to kick this script into moving ahead. This commit therefore causes
kvm-remote.sh to wait at most 15 minutes for a non-responsive system,
that is, a system for which ssh gives an exit code of 255.

Currently, if the initial ssh fails, kvm-remote.sh gives up, printing a
message saying so. But it would be nice to get a better idea as to why
ssh failed. This commit therefore dumps out ssh's exit code, stdout,
and stderr upon ssh failure for diagnostic purposes.

This commit drags the rcutorture scripting kicking and screaming into the
twenty-first century by making use of the BSD-derived mktemp command to
create temporary files and directories. In happy contrast to many of its
ill-behaved predecessors, mktemp seems to actually work reasonably reliably!

If a remote system fails in certain ways, for example, if it is rebooted
without removing the contents of the /tmp directory, its remote.run file
never will be removed and the kvm-remote.sh script will loop waiting
forever. The manual workaround for this (hopefully!) rare event is to
manually remove the file, which will cause the results up to the reboot
to be collected and evaluated.
Unfortunately, to work out which system is holding things up, the user
must refer to the name of the last system whose results were collected,
then look up the name of the next system in sequence, then manually
remove the remote.run file. Even more unfortunately, this procedure can
be fooled in runs where each system handles more than one batch should
a given system take longer than expected, causing the systems to be
handled out of order.
This commit therefore causes kvm-remote.sh to print out the name of
the system it will wait on next, allowing the user to refer directly
to that name. Making the kvm-remote.sh script automatically handle
unscheduled termination of the qemu processes is left as future work.
Quite possibly deep future work.

The torture.sh script normally runs unattended, so there is not much
point in the "ssh" command asking for a password. This commit therefore
adds the "-o Batchmode=yes" argument to each "ssh" command to cause it
to fail rather than ask for a password.

An "echo" slipped in between an "ssh" and the "ret=$?" that was intended
to collect its exit code, which prevents torture.sh from detecting
"ssh" failure. This commit therefore reassociates the two.

The torture-test scripting's long-standing use of KVM as the environment
variable tracking the pathname of the rcutorture directory now conflicts
with allmodconfig builds due to the virt/kvm/Makefile.kvm file's use
of this as a makefile variable. This commit therefore changes the
torture-test scripting from KVM to RCUTORTURE, avoiding the name conflict.

This commit ups the retries for downloading the build-product tarball

The "exit 4" in kvm-remote.sh is pointlessly redirected, so this commit

Currently, a transient network error can kill a run if it happens while
downloading the tarball to one of the target systems. This commit
therefore does a 60-second wait and then a retry. If further experience
indicates, a more elaborate mechanism might be used later.

This commit causes kvm-test-1-run-batch.sh to use the new
kvm-assign-cpus.sh and kvm-get-cpus-script.sh scripts to create a
TORTURE_AFFINITY environment variable containing either an empty string
(for no affinity) or a list of CPUs to pin the scenario's vCPUs to.
The additional change to kvm-test-1-run.sh places the per-scenario
number-of-CPUs information where it can easily be found.
If there is some reason why affinity cannot be supplied, this commit
prints and logs the reason via changes to kvm-again.sh.
Finally, this commit updates the kvm-remote.sh script to copy the
qemu-affinity output files back to the host system.

There is "qemu-affinity", "qemu-cmd", "qemu-retval", but also "qemu_pid".
This is hard to remember, not so good for bash tab completion, and just
plain inconsistent. This commit therefore renames the "qemu_pid" file to
"qemu-pid". A couple of the scripts must deal with old runs, and thus
must handle both "qemu_pid" and "qemu-pid", but new runs will produce
"qemu-pid".

The kvm-remote.sh script places the datestamped directory containing
all the build artifacts in the destination systems' /tmp directories,
where they accumulate runtime artifacts such as console.log. This works,
but some systems have a habit of removing files in /tmp that have not
been recently accessed. This commit therefore runs a simple script that
periodically accesses all files in the datestamped directory.

Currently, if a torture scenario requires more CPUs than are present
on the build system, kvm.sh and friends limit the CPUs available to
that scenario. This makes total sense when the build system and the
system running the scenarios are one and the same, but not so much when
remote systems might well have more CPUs.
This commit therefore introduces a --remote flag to kvm.sh that suppresses
this CPU-limiting behavior, and causes kvm-remote.sh to use this flag.

In a long-duration kvm-remote.sh run, almost all of the remote accesses will
be simple file-existence checks. These are thus the most likely to be caught
out by network failures, which do happen from time to time.
This commit therefore takes a first step towards tolerating temporary
network outages by making the file-existence checks repeat in the face of
such an outage. They also print a message every minute during a outage,
allowing the user to take appropriate action.

Grepping for "CPU" on lscpu output isn't always successful, depending
on the local language setting. As a result, the build can be aborted
early with:
"make: the '-j' option requires a positive integer argument"
This commit therefore uses the human-language-independent approach
available via the getconf command, both in kvm-build.sh and in
kvm-remote.sh.

This commit adds a kvm-remote.sh script that prepares a tarball that
is then downloaded to the remote system(s) and executed. The user is
responsible for having set up the remote systems to run qemu, but all the
kernel builds are done on the system running the kvm-remote.sh script.
The user is also responsible for setting up the remote systems so that
ssh can be run non-interactively, given that ssh is used to poll the
remote systems in order to detect completion of each batch.
See the script's header comment for usage information.
