[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/14] rcu: Add jiffies-since-GP-activity to show_rcu_gp_kthreads()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 14:29:29 EST


This commit adds a printout of the number of jiffies since the last time
that the RCU grace-period kthread did any processing. This can be useful
when tracking down forward-progress issues.
