[PATCH 30/33] sched: Debug nohz rq clock

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Jan 07 2013 - 21:09:39 EST


The runqueue clock is supposed to be periodically updated by the
tick. On full dynticks CPU we call update_nohz_rq_clock() before
reading it. Now the scheduler code is complicated enough that we
may miss some update_nohz_rq_clock() calls before reading the
runqueue clock.

This therefore introduce a new debugging feature that detects
when the rq clock is stale due to missing updates on full
dynticks CPUs.

This can be later expanded to debug stale clocks on dynticks-idle
CPUs.
