Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] kernel/watchdog: add option to dump system info when system is locked up
Date: Sun, 11 May 2025 16:52:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250511085254.61446-4-feng.tang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250511085254.61446-1-feng.tang@linux.alibaba.com>
Kernel panic code utilizes sys_show_info() to dump needed system
information to help debugging. Similarly, add this debug option for
software/hardware lockup cases, and 'lockup_print_mask' is the control
knob and a bitmask to control what information should be printed out:
bit 0: print all tasks info
bit 1: print system memory info
bit 2: print timer info
bit 3: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
bit 4: print ftrace buffer
bit 5: print all printk messages in buffer
bit 6: print all CPUs backtrace (if available in the arch)
bit 7: print only tasks in uninterruptible (blocked) state
