    rcu/tree: Add a trace event for RCU CPU stall warnings · 565cfb9e
    Sangmoon Kim authored
    This commit adds a trace event which allows tracing the beginnings of RCU
    CPU stall warnings on systems where sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is disabled.
    
    The first parameter is the name of RCU flavor like other trace events.
    The second parameter indicates whether this is a stall of an expedited
    grace period, a self-detected stall of a normal grace period, or a stall
    of a normal grace period detected by some CPU other than the one that
    is stalled.
    
    RCU CPU stall warnings are often caused by external-to-RCU issues,
    for example, in interrupt handling or task scheduling.  Therefore,
    this event uses TRACE_EVENT, not TRACE_EVENT_RCU, to avoid requiring
    those interested in tracing RCU CPU stalls to rebuild their kernels
    with CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.
