[ Upstream commit 39281709a6 ]
The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling
sqrt() with rand(). This is needed for ARM SPE fork test.
$ perf test -w sqrtloop
It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in
seconds (default: 1).
Committer notes:
Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.
And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.
Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
with it.

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.
