The current RCU CPU stall warning code will print "Stall ended before state dump start" any time that the stall-warning code is triggered on a CPU that has already reported a quiescent state for the current grace period and if all quiescent states have been reported for the current grace period. However, a true stall can result in these symptoms, for example, by preventing RCU's grace-period kthreads from ever running This commit therefore checks for this condition, reporting the end of the stall only if one of the grace-period counters has actually advanced. Otherwise, it reports the last time that the grace-period kthread made meaningful progress. (In normal situations, the grace-period kthread should make meaningful progress at least every jiffies_till_next_fqs jiffies.) Reported-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
