Subject: [PATCH v6 5/6] task_isolation: add debug boot flag
The new "task_isolation_debug" flag simplifies debugging
of TASK_ISOLATION kernels when processes are running in
PR_TASK_ISOLATION_ENABLE mode. Such processes should get no
interrupts from the kernel, and if they do, when this boot flag is
specified a kernel stack dump on the console is generated.
It's possible to use ftrace to simply detect whether a task_isolation
core has unexpectedly entered the kernel. But what this boot flag
does is allow the kernel to provide better diagnostics, e.g. by
reporting in the IPI-generating code what remote core and context
is preparing to deliver an interrupt to a task_isolation core.
It may be worth considering other ways to generate useful debugging
output rather than console spew, but for now that is simple and direct.
