If a CPU has interrupts disabled continuously starting before the
beginning of a given expedited RCU grace period, that CPU will not
execute that grace period's IPI handler. This will in turn mean
that the ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field in that CPU's rcu_data structure
will continue to contain the boolean value false.
Knowing whether or not a CPU has had interrupts disabled can be helpful
when debugging an expedited RCU CPU stall warning, so this commit
adds a "D" indicator expedited RCU CPU stall warnings that signifies
that the corresponding CPU has had interrupts disabled throughout.
This capability was tested as follows:
runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 4" bootparams=
"isolcpus=2,3 nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1
rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu=40
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=0
rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1" -d
The rcu_torture_stall() function ran on CPU 1, which displays the "D"
as expected given the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 module parameter:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
