[for-next][PATCH 10/23] tracing/timerlat: Print stacktrace in the IRQ handler if needed

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri May 27 2022 - 22:53:08 EST


From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@xxxxxxxxxx>

If print_stack and stop_tracing_us are set, and stop_tracing_us is hit
with latency higher than or equal to print_stack, print the
stack at the IRQ handler as it is useful to define the root cause for
the IRQ latency.
