mainlining shenanigans
e42404fa10
To start stack unwinding (SP, PC and BLINK) are needed. When the explicit execution context (pt_regs etc) is not available, unwinder assumes the task is sleeping (in __switch_to()) and fetches SP and BLINK from kernel mode stack. But this assumption is not true, specially in a SMP system, when top runs on 1 core, there may be active running processes on all cores. So when unwinding non courrent tasks, ensure they are NOT running. And while at it, handle the self unwinding case explicitly. This came out of investigation of a customer reported hang with rcutorture+top Link: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/linux/issues/31 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
