From 625056b65ee9a8b4caf42136e0c844c15e6ec54f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:47:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] hung task debugging: Inject NMI when hung and going to panic Send an NMI to all CPUs when a hung task is detected and the hung task code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate snapshot of all CPUs in the system. This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier trying to debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything since the next step is a kernel panic.
