+			============
+			LKMM SCRIPTS
+			============
+
+
+These scripts are run from the tools/memory-model directory.
+
+checkalllitmus.sh
+
+	Run all litmus tests in the litmus-tests directory, checking
+	the results against the expected results recorded in the
+	"Result:" comment lines.
+
+checkghlitmus.sh
+
+	Run all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
+	archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
+	documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
+	those expected.
+
+checklitmushist.sh
+
+	Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
+	initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
+	herd7 output to that of the original runs.
+
+checklitmus.sh
+
+	Check a single litmus test against its "Result:" expected result.
+	Not intended to for manual use.
+
+checktheselitmus.sh
+
+	Check the specified list of litmus tests against their "Result:"
+	expected results.  This takes optional parseargs.sh arguments,
+	followed by "--" followed by pathnames starting from the current
+	directory.
+
+cmplitmushist.sh
+
+	Compare output from two different runs of the same litmus tests,
+	with the absolute pathnames of the tests to run provided one
+	name per line on standard input.  Not normally run manually,
+	provided instead for use by other scripts.
+
+initlitmushist.sh
+
+	Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
+	of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results
+	in .litmus.out files.
+
+judgelitmus.sh
+
+	Given a .litmus file and its herd7 output, check the output file
+	against the .litmus file's "Result:" comment to judge whether
+	the test ran correctly.  Not normally run manually, provided
+	instead for use by other scripts.
+
+newlitmushist.sh
+
+	For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
+	specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
+	and record the results in .litmus.out files.
+
+parseargs.sh
+
+	Parse command-line arguments.  Not normally run manually,
+	provided instead for use by other scripts.
+
+runlitmushist.sh
+
+	Run the litmus tests whose absolute pathnames are provided one
+	name per line on standard input.  Not normally run manually,
+	provided instead for use by other scripts.

+
+	This file
+
+Testing a change to LKMM might go as follows:
+
+	# Populate expected results without that change, and
+	# runs for about an hour on an 8-CPU x86 system:
+	scripts/initlitmushist.sh --timeout 10m --procs 10
+	# Incorporate the change:
+	git am -s -3 /path/to/patch # Or whatever it takes.
+
+	# Test the new version of LKMM as follows...
+
+	# Runs in seconds, good smoke test:
+	scripts/checkalllitmus.sh
+
+	# Compares results to those produced by initlitmushist.sh,
+	# and runs for about an hour on an 8-CPU x86 system:
+	scripts/checklitmushist.sh --timeout 10m --procs 10
+
+	# Checks results against Result tags, runs in minutes:
+	scripts/checkghlitmus.sh --timeout 10m --procs 10
+
+The checkghlitmus.sh should not report errors in cases where the
+checklitmushist.sh script did not also report a change.  However,
+this check is nevertheless valuable because it can find errors in the
+original version of LKMM.  Note however, that given the above procedure,
+an error in the original LKMM version that is fixed by the patch will
+be reported both as a mismatch by checklitmushist.sh and as an error
+by checkghlitmus.sh.  One exception to this rule of thumb is when the
+test fails completely on the original version of LKMM and passes on the
+new version.  In this case, checklitmushist.sh will report a mismatch
+and checkghlitmus.sh will report success.  This happens when the change
+to LKMM introduces a new primitive for which litmus tests already existed.
