Dear Menzel

I am also very interested in RCU tests;-)
First of all, thank your email for teaching me how to construct a
kernel deb package using clang  ;-)
I build and test the linux-next under x86_64, but the kernel does not
panic, I guess our kernel configuration maybe different, following is
my steps:

1. git clone https://kernel.source.codeaurora.cn/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
2. git describe: next-20220125
3. make menuconfig CC=clang-12 (CONFIG_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y)
My configuration file is uploaded to my VPS cloud server:
http://154.223.142.244/config-5.17.0-rc1-next-20220125+
4. make CC=clang-12 -j 16 bindeb-pkg
5. install the kernel, reboot
6. the kernel does not panic (has been running for 30 minutes by now)

I Hope I can be more helpful ;-)

Thanks
Sincerely
Zhouyi
