RCU-tasks stall-warning messages are printed after the grace period is ten minutes old. Unfortunately, most of us will have rebooted the system in response to an apparently-hung command long before the ten minutes is up, and will thus see what looks to be a silent hang. This commit therefore adds pr_info() messages that are printed earlier. These should avoid being classified as errors, but should give impatient users a hint. These are controlled by new rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info and rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info_mult kernel-boot parameters. The former defines the initial delay in jiffies (defaulting to 10 seconds) and the latter defines the multiplier (defaulting to 3). Thus, by default, the first message will appear 10 seconds into the RCU-tasks grace period, the second 40 seconds in, and the third 160 seconds in. There would be a fourth at 640 seconds in, but the stall warning message appears 600 seconds in, and once a stall warning is printed for a given grace period, no further informational messages are printed.

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.
