I guess I don't! Thank you, will fix.

Let's see...

My .config has CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y. It looks like I
need CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y, which I don't have. And it looks
like that needs CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y, which I also don't have.
But I do have CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. So I should add this
to my rcutorture command line:

--kconfig "CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y".

I fired this up. Here is hoping! ;-)

And it does have sched_setaffinity(), woo-hoo!!! I overwrote the old file:

Thanx, Paul
