[PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/17] rcutorture: Print time since GP end upon forward-progress failure

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:22:21 EST


If rcutorture's forward-progress tests fail while a grace period is not
in progress, it is useful to print the time since the last grace period
ended as a way to detect failure to launch a new grace period. This
commit therefore makes this change.
