I followed the instructions, add " rcutorture.stall_cpu=22 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0" and
" rcutree.use_softirq=0"to bootargs, can trigger RCU CPU stall warning:

commit 66226e2acda8b31b60137b1ae71244df68541a01

rcu: Dump all rcuc kthreads status for CPUs that not report quiescent state
If the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is disabled, then it is
possible that a RCU CPU stall is due to the rcuc kthreads being starved of
CPU time. There is currently no easy way to infer this from the RCU CPU
stall warning output. This commit therefore adds a string of the form "
rcuc=%ld jiffies(starved)" to a given CPU's output if the corresponding
rcuc kthread has been starved for more than two seconds.
