Instead of reseeding the random number generator every time around the loop in big_gang_check(), seed it at the beginning of execution. Use rand_r() and an independent base seed for each thread in iteration_test() so they don't stomp all over each others state. Since this particular test depends on the kernel scheduler, the iteration test can't be reproduced based purely on the random seed, but at least it won't pollute the other tests. Print the seed, and allow the seed to be specified so that a run which hits a problem can be reproduced.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
