CONFIG_TREE_RCU and CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU debugfs Files and Formats
These implementations of RCU provides five debugfs files under the
top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcudata (which displays fields in struct
rcu_data), rcu/rcudata.csv (which is a .csv spreadsheet version of
rcu/rcudata), rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period counters),
rcu/rcuhier (which displays the struct rcu_node hierarchy), and
rcu/rcu_pending (which displays counts of the reasons that the
rcu_pending() function decided that there was core RCU work to do).
These implementations of RCU provides several debugfs files under the
top-level directory "rcu":
rcu/rcudata:
Displays fields in struct rcu_data.
rcu/rcudata.csv:
Comma-separated values spreadsheet version of rcudata.
rcu/rcugp:
Displays grace-period counters.
rcu/rcuhier:
Displays the struct rcu_node hierarchy.
rcu/rcu_pending:
Displays counts of the reasons rcu_pending() decided that RCU had
work to do.
rcu/rcutorture:
Displays rcutorture test progress.
rcu/rcuboost:
Displays RCU boosting statistics. Only present if
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y.
The output of "cat rcu/rcudata" looks as follows:

The first line shows the number of rcutorture tests that have completed
since boot. If a test is currently running, the "(test in progress)"
string will appear as shown above. The second line shows the number of
update cycles that the current test has started, or zero if there is
no test in progress.

o "n:m" is the CPU-number range for the corresponding two-line
entry. In the sample output above, the first entry covers
CPUs zero through five and the second entry covers CPUs 6
and 7.
o "tasks=TNEB" gives the state of the various segments of the
rnp->blocked_tasks list:
"T" This indicates that there are some tasks that blocked
while running on one of the corresponding CPUs while
in an RCU read-side critical section.
"N" This indicates that some of the blocked tasks are preventing
the current normal (non-expedited) grace period from
completing.
"E" This indicates that some of the blocked tasks are preventing
the current expedited grace period from completing.
"B" This indicates that some of the blocked tasks are in
need of RCU priority boosting.

o "kt" is the state of the RCU priority-boosting kernel
thread associated with the corresponding rcu_node structure.

that was blocking both an expedited and a normal grace period,
it is counted against the expedited total above.
o "j" is the low-order 16 bits of the jiffies counter in
hexadecimal.
o "bt" is the low-order 16 bits of the value that the jiffies
counter will have when we next start boosting, assuming that
the current grace period does not end beforehand. This is
also in hexadecimal.
o "balk: nt" counts the number of times we didn't boost (in
other words, we balked) even though it was time to boost because
there were no blocked tasks to boost. This situation occurs
when there is one blocked task on one rcu_node structure and
none on some other rcu_node structure.

there were blocked tasks, none of them were blocking the
current grace period, whether expedited or otherwise.
o "bt" counts the number of times we balked because boosting
had already been initiated for the current grace period.
o "nb" counts the number of times we balked because there
was at least one task blocking the current non-expedited grace
period that never had blocked. If it is already running, it
just won't help to boost its priority!
o "ny" counts the number of times we balked because it was
not yet time to start boosting.
