Currently, jitter.sh execution is controlled by a time limit and by the "kill" command. The former allowed jitter.sh to run uselessly past the end of a set of runs that panicked during boot, and the latter is vulnerable to PID reuse. This commit therefore introduces a "jittering" file in the date-stamp directory within "res" that must be present for the jitter.sh scripts to continue executing. The time limit is still in place in order to avoid disturbing runs featuring large trace dumps, but the removal of the "jittering" file handles the panic-during-boot scenario without relying on PIDs.

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.
