In order to debug forward-progress stalls, it is necessary to check for excessively delayed grace-period starts. This is currently done for RCU CPU stall warnings by rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which checks to see if the start of a requested grace period has been delayed by an RCU CPU stall warning period. Because rcutorture will need to check for the time consumed by an RCU forward-progress delay, this commit promotes gpssdelay from a local variable to a formal parameter. It is not necessary to export rcu_check_gp_start_stall() because rcutorture will access it via a wrapper function. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
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.
