From c4f3b63fe15b4629aa1ec163c95ab30423d0f76a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:26:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameter Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings. This is useful for debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify possible softlockups earlier. This patch: 1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s (Higher value to disable false positives) 2. Changes the softlockup printk to print the cpu softlockup time [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Fix various warnings and add definition of "two"] Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt | 8 ++++++++ include/linux/sched.h | 1 + kernel/softlockup.c | 7 +++++-- kernel/sysctl.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt b/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt index 111fd28727ec..8984a5396271 100644 --- a/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt +++ b/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt @@ -320,6 +320,14 @@ kernel.
