Revision b00d607bb188e187c7b60074d2fa91a6f1985029 authored by Steven Rostedt (VMware) on 05 December 2017, 09:41:51 UTC, committed by Steven Rostedt (VMware) on 15 December 2017, 01:48:22 UTC
The stack tracer records a stack dump whenever it sees a stack usage that is
more than what it ever saw before. This can happen at any function that is
being traced. If it happens when the CPU is going idle (or other strange
locations), RCU may not be watching, and in this case, the recording of the
stack trace will trigger a warning. There's been lots of efforts to make
hacks to allow stack tracing to proceed even if RCU is not watching, but
this only causes more issues to appear. Simply do not trace a stack if RCU
is not watching. It probably isn't a bad stack anyway.
