From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
Subject: man page for pip_stress
The Debian package checker lintian criticizes that pip_stress doesn't have a
man page. So put a short version of the description from the source file
into a man page to make lintian happy.

+.SH NAME
+pip_stress \- test priority inheritance between processes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pip_stress
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pip_stress
+creates a priority inversion using three processes and a priority inheritance
+mutex shared via shared memory.
+All three processes are bound to run on the same cpu.
+The process with the lowest priority holds a mutex and is prempted by the
+medium priority process that just runs an infinite loop.
+The third process with the highest priority tries to grab the mutex that is
+hold by the low prio process.
+As a priority inheritance mutex is used the low priority process lends the high
+priority process' priority to unlock the mutex and so stops the medium priority
+process blocking the high priority one.
+
+.B pip_stress
+doesn't take any options and quits as soon as the priority inversion is
+resolved which should happen instantly.
+
