[PATCH 1/3] kernel/watchdog: show irq percentage if irq floods

[Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>]

In kdump case, the capture kernel has no chance to shutdown devices, and
leave the devices in unstable state. Irq flood is one of the consequence.

When irq floods, the kernel is totally occupies by irq.  Currently, there
may be nothing or just soft lockup warning showed in console. It is better
to warn users with irq flood info.

Soft lockup watchdog is a good foundation to implement the detector. A irq
flood is reported if the following two conditions are met:
  -1. the irq occupies too much (98%) of the past interval.
  -2. no tasks has been scheduled in the past interval. This is implemented
      by check_hint.
      A note: is_softlockup() implies the 2nd condition, but unfortunately, irq
      flood can come from anywhere. If irq_enter_rcu()->tick_irq_enter(), then
      touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() will reset watchdog, and softlockup is
      never detected.
