[PATCH v4 0/2] rcu: Display registers of self-detected stall as far as possible

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Wed Aug 03 2022 - 22:34:54 EST


v3 --> v4:
1. To avoid undo/redo, merge patch 1-2 in v3 into one.

v2 --> v3:
1. Patch 1 Add trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu) in synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait()
Subsequently, we can see that all callers of dump_cpu_task() try
trigger_single_cpu_backtrace() first. Then I do the cleanup in Patch 2.
2. Patch 3, as Paul E. McKenney's suggestion, push the code into dump_cpu_task().

For newcomers:
Currently, dump_cpu_task() is mainly used by RCU, in order to dump the
stack traces of the current task of the specified CPU when a rcu stall
is detected.

For architectures that do not support NMI interrupts, registers is not
printed when rcu stall is self-detected. This patch series improve it.

sched/debug: Show the registers of 'current' in dump_cpu_task()
