Why does this have Donghsheng's SoB? Is this a Co-developed-by situation?
Yes, Co-developed-by is more suitable.
Put per-patch notes that aren't intended for the final changelog...
V2:
- removed the busy loop implementation
- add the new "-s" option
V3:
- drop the usleep randomization code
- removed the term C-state for less confusion for non-x86 archetectures
- changed subject
...down here below the "---", as this section is ignored by `git am`. That way the maintainer (me) doesn't need to manually delete the notes when applying.
Got it, thank you very much!

Hmm, -s ends up being somewhat confusing because "sanity" also starts with 's', e.g. my first thought is that "./rseq_test -s" would be "run the test with sanity checks".
Maybe -u for unchecked/unverified?
Agree, it's better.
printf(" -u: Don't sanity check the number of successful KVM_RUNs\n");

I would also prefer to call out the command line option last, e.g. so that readers don't automatically rerun with the sanity check disabled without reading the rest of the error message.
How about this?

Thank you very much for your patience and your suggestions! I'll adopt them to V4. How baout to add two white spaces in front of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th in order to align with the first line (Only performed ... )?
