Subject: [DEBUG PATCH 5/5] x86,smp: add debugging code to track spinlock delay value
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 17:32:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130108173229.784f74bc@annuminas.surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130108172632.1126898a@annuminas.surriel.com>
From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
This code prints out the maximum spinlock delay value and the
backtrace that pushed it that far.
On systems with serial consoles, the act of printing can cause
the spinlock delay value to explode. It can be useful as a
debugging tool, but is too verbose to merge upstream in this form.
