[PATCH 0/3] *** Detect interrupt storm in softlockup ***

[Bitao Hu <yaoma@linux.alibaba.com>]

Hi guys,
    I have previously encountered an issue where an NVMe interrupt
storm caused a softlockup, but the call tree did not provide useful
information. This is because the call tree is merely a snapshot and
does not fully reflect the CPU's state over the duration of the
softlockup_thresh period. Consequently, I think that reporting CPU
utilization (system, softirq, hardirq, idle) during a softlockup would
be beneficial for identifying issues related to interrupt storms, as
well as assisting in the analysis of other causes of softlockup.
    Furthermore, reporting the most time-consuming hardirqs during a
softlockup could directly pinpoint which interrupt is responsible
for the issue.

Bitao Hu (3):
  watchdog/softlockup: low-overhead detection of interrupt storm
  watchdog/softlockup: report the most time-consuming hardirq
  watchdog/softlockup: add parameter to control the reporting of
    time-consuming hardirq
