[PATCH v3 3/3] sched/debug: Show the registers of 'current' in dump_cpu_task()
From: Zhen Lei
Date: Sat Jul 30 2022 - 06:24:32 EST
For architectures that do not support NMI, registers is not printed.
However, this information is useful for analyzing the root cause of the
fault. Fortunately, when the stack traces of current is dumped in the
interrupt handler, we can take it through get_irq_regs() and display it
through show_regs(). Further, show_regs() unwind the call trace based on
'regs', the worthless call trace associated with interrupt handling will
be omitted, this helps us to focus more on the problem. By the way, for
architectures that support NMI, it also avoids generating an unnecessary
NMI in this case.
This is an example of rcu self-detected stall on arm64:
