[PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/10] rcu: Make RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO include number of fqs attempts

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jan 07 2015 - 12:53:40 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

One way that an RCU CPU stall warning can happen is if the grace-period
kthread is not allowed to execute. One proxy for this kthread's
forward progress is the number of force-quiescent-state (fqs) scans.
This commit therefore adds the number of fqs scans to the RCU CPU stall
warning printouts when CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO=y.
