Subject: [PATCH rcu 12/12] rcu: Add irqs-disabled indicator to expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@...el.com>

If a CPU has interrupts disabled continuously starting before the
beginning of a given expedited RCU grace period, that CPU will not
execute that grace period's IPI handler.  This will in turn mean
that the ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field in that CPU's rcu_data structure
will continue to contain the boolean value false.

Knowing whether or not a CPU has had interrupts disabled can be helpful
when debugging an expedited RCU CPU stall warning, so this commit
adds a "D" indicator expedited RCU CPU stall warnings that signifies
that the corresponding CPU has had interrupts disabled throughout.

This capability was tested as follows:

runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 4"  bootparams=
"isolcpus=2,3 nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1
rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu=40
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=0
rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1" -d

The rcu_torture_stall() function ran on CPU 1, which displays the "D"
as expected given the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 module parameter:

............
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks:
{ 1-...D } 26467 jiffies s: 13317 root: 0x1/.
rcu: blocking rcu_node structures (internal RCU debug): l=1:0-1:0x2/.
Task dump for CPU 1:
