[PATCH] RCU statistics 2.5.47

[Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>]

Hello Linus,

This patch makes some basic statistics for RCU available in /proc/rcu.
The statistics made available by this patch are very generic in
nature - # of RCU requests and # of actual RCU updates for each
CPU. This will allow us to monitor the health of the RCU
subsystem and such things have been extremely useful for me to
investigate problems. For example, if a CPU looping in kernel
stops RCU grace period from completing, we would be easily able
to detect it by looking at these counters. This is a rediff of
an earlier version published in lkml and included in -mm.

[dipankar@llm04 dipankar]$ cat /proc/rcu
CPU : 0
RCU requests : 0
RCU updates : 0

CPU : 1
RCU requests : 0
RCU updates : 0

CPU : 2
RCU requests : 0
RCU updates : 0

CPU : 3
RCU requests : 0
RCU updates : 0

Please apply.

Thanks
