 *  $Id: JitterTest.c,v 1.13 2005/11/07 11:15:20 gleixner Exp $
 *  $Log: JitterTest.c,v $
 *  Revision 1.13  2005/11/07 11:15:20  gleixner
 *  [MTD / JFFS2] Clean up trailing white spaces
 *
 *  Revision 1.12  2001/08/10 19:23:11  vipin
 *  Ready to be released under GPL! Added proper headers etc.
 *
 *  Revision 1.11  2001/07/09 15:35:50  vipin
 *  Couple of new features:1. The program runs by default as a "regular"
 *  (SCHED_OTHER) task by default, unless the -p n cmd line parameter is
 *  specified. It then runs as SCHED_RR at that priority.
 *  2. Added ability to send SIGSTOP/SIGCONT to a specified PID. This
 *  would presumably be the PID of the JFFS2 GC task. SIGSTOP is sent
 *  before writing to the fs, and a SIGCONT after the write is done.
 *  3. The "pad" data now written to the file on the "fs under test" is
 *  random, not sequential as previously.
 *
 *  Revision 1.10  2001/06/27 19:14:24  vipin
 *  Now console file to log at can be specified from cmd line. This can enable
 *  you to run two instances of the program- one logging to the /dev/console
 *  and another to a regular file (if you want the data) or /dev/null if you don't.
 *
 *  Revision 1.9  2001/06/25 20:21:31  vipin
 *  This is the latest version, NOT the one last checked in!
 *
 *  Revision 1.7  2001/06/18 22:36:19  vipin
 *  Fix minor typo that excluded '\n' from msg on console.
 *
 *  Revision 1.6  2001/06/18 21:17:50  vipin
 *  Added option to specify the amount of data written to outfile each period.
 *  The regular info is written, but is then padded to the requested size.
 *  This will enable testing of different sized writes to JFFS fs.
 *
 *  Revision 1.5  2001/06/08 19:36:23  vipin
 *  All write() are now checked for return err code.
 *
 *  Revision 1.4  2001/06/06 23:10:31  vipin
 *  Added README file.
 *  In JitterTest.c: Changed operation of periodic timer to one shot. The timer is now
 *  reset when the task wakes. This way every "jitter" is from the last time and
 *  jitters from previous times are not accumulated and screw aroud with our display.
 *
 *  All jitter is now +ve. (as it should be). Also added a "read file" functionality
 *  to test for jitter in task if we have to read from JFFS fs.
 *  The program now also prints data to console- where it can be logged, interspersed with
 *  other "interesting" printk's from the kernel and drivers (flash sector erases etc.)
 *
 *  Revision 1.3  2001/03/01 19:20:39  gmurray
 *  Add priority scheduling. Shortened name of default output file.
 *  Changed default interrupt period. Output delta time and jitter
 *  instead of time of day.
 *
 *  Revision 1.2  2001/02/28 16:20:19  vipin
 *  Added version control Id and log fields.
