[PATCH RFC v2 tip/core/rcu 16/22] rcu-tasks: Add stall warnings for RCU Tasks Trace

From: paulmck
Date: Wed Mar 18 2020 - 20:11:34 EST


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

This commit adds RCU CPU stall warnings for RCU Tasks Trace. These
dump out any tasks blocking the current grace period, as well as any
CPUs that have not responded to an IPI request. This happens in two
phases, when initially extracting state from the tasks and later when
waiting for any holdout tasks to check in.
