[bpf-next,v3,15/25] rqspinlock: Add helper to print a splat on timeout or deadlock

Commit Message

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi March 3, 2025, 3:22 p.m. UTC

Whenever a timeout and a deadlock occurs, we would want to print a
message to the dmesg console, including the CPU where the event
occurred, the list of locks in the held locks table, and the stack trace
of the caller, which allows determining where exactly in the slow path
the waiter timed out or detected a deadlock.

Splats are limited to atmost one per-CPU during machine uptime, and a
lock is acquired to ensure that no interleaving occurs when a concurrent
set of CPUs conflict and enter a deadlock situation and start printing
data.

Later patches will use this to inspect return value of rqspinlock API
and then report a violation if necessary.
