[PATCH] rcu-tasks: Allow RCU-Task trace stall warning dump late IPI CPU stacks

From: Zqiang
Date: Mon Feb 20 2023 - 23:27:34 EST


The task structure's->trc_ipi_to_cpu and percpu trc_ipi_to_cpu is
used to record whether the IPI is completed, if the percpu trc_ipi_to_cpu
is true and task structure's->trc_ipi_to_cpu is non-negative value,
indicates that IPI is not completed, if the IPI is unresponsive for
along time for some reason, there will be a possibility of causing
RCU-Tasks trace stall. this commit therefore allow dump late IPI CPU
stacks to show the path that current CPU is executing.

In the real world, the IPI delay will be very small, so the
probability of triggering dump_cpu_stack() may be very low,
so if I makes noise, please ignore it.
