Subject: [PATCH] sysrq: add a show-stacktrace-on-all-cpus command
Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 13:29:26 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11857049662730-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)

If a cpu is spinning in the kernel but still responding to interrupts,
pressing sysrq-y will show you where it's spinning.
