We used the following command to invoke rcuperf:
sudo ./kvm.sh --torture rcuperf --duration 10 --configs 10*TREE
The actual script run-rcuperf.sh to run the experiments can be found
in the following email of this patch series:
[PATCH RFC 15/16] rcutorture: Add scripts to run experiments
Please let us know how it goes.
Many thanks,
