Test the basic functionality of the private hash: - Upon start, with no threads there is no private hash. - The first thread initializes the private hash. - More than four threads will increase the size of the private hash if the system has more than 16 CPUs online. - Once the user sets the size of private hash, auto scaling is disabled. - The user is only allowed to use numbers to the power of two. - The user may request the global or make the hash immutable. - Once the global hash has been set or the hash has been made immutable, further changes are not allowed. - Futex operations should work the whole time. It must be possible to hold a lock, such a PI initialised mutex, during the resize operation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
