From bb311eccbdab974639263060b8452bf304af0b0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul E. McKenney Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2013 16:02:09 -0700 Subject: rcu: Add tracing of normal (non-NOCB) grace-period requests This commit adds tracing to the normal grace-period request points. These are rcu_gp_cleanup(), which checks for the need for another grace period at the end of the previous grace period, and rcu_start_gp_advanced(), which restarts RCU's state machine after an idle period. These trace events are intended to help track down bugs where RCU remains idle despite there being work for it to do. Reported-by: Clark Williams Signed-off-by: Paul E.
