[PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/15] rcu: Add more debug info on "kthread starved" RCU CPU stall warnings

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue May 12 2015 - 17:47:09 EST


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

This commit adds grace number and command-flags information to the
"kthread starved" message that is sometimes printed out as part of
RCU CPU stall warnings. This message is caused by the corresponding
RCU grace-period kthread not having run for at least two seconds, and
this added information can be helpful when debugging.
