[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 29/41] rcu: Print scheduling-clock information on RCU CPU stall-warning messages

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Feb 01 2012 - 14:50:40 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

There have been situations where RCU CPU stall warnings were caused by
issues in scheduling-clock timer initialization. To make it easier to
track these down, this commit causes the RCU CPU stall-warning messages
to print out the number of scheduling-clock interrupts taken in the
current grace period for each stalled CPU.
