[patch v2 1/5] rtmutex: Remove builtin tester

2014-05-31 Thread Thomas Gleixner
The tester has been broken for quite some time. It's possible to fix it, but the main reason for having it in the kernel was the lock steal mechanism in the rtmutex code. That's gone, so we can implement a stateful correctness tester just via the futex syscall. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc:
