Subject: [PATCH v2] ftrace based hard lockup detector
[Sorry, I forgot the function tracer dependency]
--
Like the NMI watchdog, this feature try to detect hard lockups by
lurking at the non-progress of the timer interrupts.
You can enable it at boot time by passing the ftrace_hardlockup parameter.
I plan to add a debugfs file to enable/disable at runtime.
When a hardlockup is detected, it will print a backtrace. Perhaps it
would be good to print the locks held from lockdep too?
It only support x86 for the moment, because a kind

+ This options makes ftrace hooking most of the kernel functions, trying to
+ detect a hard lockup and then print a backtrace if so. Its check is
+ similar to the one performed by the nmi watchdog which lurks in the
+ non-progress of the timer interrupts. By default it is not enabled.
+ If you want to launch it, add the ftrace_hardlockup kernel parameter.
+ Enabling this option will bring almost no overhead, assuming you
+ enabled CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. But once you activate it through the
+ ftrace_hardlockup parameter, your system will be a bit slower.
