# aggressive:
#   enables more file, cache and memory aggressive options. This may
#   slow tests down, increase latencies and  reduce  the  number  of
#   bogo  ops as well as changing the balance of user time vs system
#   time used depending on the type of stressor being used.

# ignite-cpu:
#   alter kernel controls to try and maximize the CPU. This requires
#   root  privilege  to alter various /sys interface controls.  Cur‐
#   rently this only works for Intel P-State enabled x86 systems  on
#   Linux.

# keep-name:

#   disables  this and keeps the process names to be the name of the

# per stressor options start here

#
# aio stressor options:
#   start  N  workers  that  issue  multiple  small asynchronous I/O
#   writes and reads on a relatively small temporary file using  the
#   POSIX  aio  interface.  This will just hit the file system cache
#   and soak up a lot of user and kernel time in  issuing  and  han‐
#   dling I/O requests.  By default, each worker process will handle
#   16 concurrent I/O requests.
#
aio 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# aio-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops
# aio-requests 16	# I/O requests per aio operation

#
# aiol stressor options:
#   start N workers that issue multiple 4K random  asynchronous  I/O
#   writes  using  the  Linux  aio system calls io_setup(2), io_sub‐
#   mit(2), io_getevents(2) and  io_destroy(2).   By  default,  each
#   worker process will handle 16 concurrent I/O requests.
#
aiol 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# aiol-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops
# aiol-requests 16	# I/O requests per aio operation

#
# clock stressor options:
#   start N workers exercising clocks  and  POSIX  timers.  For  all
#   known clock types this will exercise clock_getres(2), clock_get‐
#   time(2) and clock_nanosleep(2).  For all known  timers  it  will
#   create  a  50000ns  timer  and  busy poll this until it expires.
#   This stressor will cause frequent context switching.
#
clock 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# clock-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# fault stressor options:
#   start N workers that generates minor and major page faults.
#
fault 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# fault-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# itimer stressor options:
#   start N workers that exercise the system interval  timers.  This
#   sets  up  an ITIMER_PROF itimer that generates a SIGPROF signal.
#   The default frequency for the itimer  is  1  MHz,  however,  the
#   Linux kernel will set this to be no more that the jiffy setting,
#   hence high frequency SIGPROF signals are not normally  possible.
#   A busy loop spins on getitimer(2) calls to consume CPU and hence
#   decrement the itimer based on amount of time spent  in  CPU  and
#   system time.
#
itimer 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# itimer-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops
# itimer-freq 750	# 750 Hz timer clock

#
# kill stressor options:
#   start N workers sending SIGUSR1 kill signals to a SIG_IGN signal
#   handler. Most of the process time will end up in kernel space.
#
kill 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# kill-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# schedpolicy stressor options:
#   start N workers that work set the worker  to  various  available
#   scheduling policies out of SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH, SCHED_IDLE,
#   SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.  For the real time scheduling  policies
#   a random sched priority is selected between the minimum and max‐
#   imum scheduling priority settings.
#
schedpolicy 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# schedpolicy-ops 1000000 # stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigfd stressor options:
#   start  N  workers that generate SIGRT signals and are handled by
#   reads by a child process using a file descriptor  set  up  using
#   signalfd(2).   (Linux  only). This will generate a heavy context
#   switch load when all CPUs are fully loaded.
#
sigfd 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigfd-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigfpe stressor options:
#   start N workers that  rapidly  cause  division  by  zero  SIGFPE
#   faults.
#
sigfpe 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigfpe-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigpending stressor options:
#   start  N workers that check if SIGUSR1 signals are pending. This
#   stressor masks SIGUSR1, generates a SIGUSR1 signal and uses sig‐
#   pending(2)  to see if the signal is pending. Then it unmasks the
#   signal and checks if the signal is no longer pending.
#
sigpending 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigpending-ops 1000000 # stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigq stressor options:
#   start   N  workers  that  rapidly  send  SIGUSR1  signals  using
#   sigqueue(3) to child processes that wait for the signal via sig‐
#   waitinfo(2).
#
sigq 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigq-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigsegv stressor options:
#   start  N  workers  that  rapidly  create  and catch segmentation
#   faults.
#
sigsegv 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigsegv-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sigsuspend stressor options:
#   start N workers that each spawn off 4 child processes that  wait
#   for  a  SIGUSR1  signal from the parent using sigsuspend(2). The
#   parent sends SIGUSR1 signals to each child in rapid  succession.
#   Each sigsuspend wakeup is counted as one bogo operation.
#
sigsuspend 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sigsuspend-ops 1000000 # stop after 1000000 bogo ops

#
# sleep stressor options:
#   start  N  workers that spawn off multiple threads that each per‐
#   form multiple sleeps of ranges 1us to 0.1s.  This creates multi‐
#   ple context switches and timer interrupts.
#
sleep 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# sleep-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops
# sleep-max 1024	# start 1024 threads per sleep stressor

#
# timer stressor options:
#   stop  timer  stress  workers  after  N  bogo timer events (Linux
#   only).
#
timer 0			# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
# timer-ops 1000000	# stop after 1000000 bogo ops
# timer-freq 8000	# 8000 Hz timer frequency
# timer-rand		# enable some timer jitter

#
# timerfd stressor options:
#   start N workers creating timerfd events at a default rate  of  1
#   MHz  (Linux  only);  this  can  create a many thousands of timer
#   clock events. Timer events are waited  for  on  the  timer  file
#   descriptor  using  select(2) and then read and counted as a bogo
#   timerfd op.
#
timerfd 0		# 0 means 1 stressor per CPU
