Subject: [PATCHv2 0/2] *** Detect interrupt storm in softlockup ***

I have implemented a low-overhead method for detecting interrupt storm
in softlockup. Please review it, all comments are welcome.

Changes from v1 to v2:

- From Douglas, optimize the memory of cpustats. With the maximum number
of CPUs, that's now this.
2 * 8192 * 4 + 1 * 8192 * 5 * 4 + 1 * 8192 = 237,568 bytes.

- From Liu Song, refactor the code format and add necessary comments.

- From Douglas, use interrupt counts instead of interrupt time to
determine the cause of softlockup.

- Remove the cmdline parameter added in PATCHv1.

Subject: [PATCHv2 1/2] watchdog/softlockup: low-overhead detection of interrupt storm

The following softlockup is caused by interrupt storm, but it cannot be
identified from the call tree. Because the call tree is just a snapshot
and doesn't fully capture the behavior of the CPU during the soft lockup.
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
...
Call trace:
__do_softirq+0xa0/0x37c
__irq_exit_rcu+0x108/0x140
irq_exit+0x14/0x20
__handle_domain_irq+0x84/0xe0
gic_handle_irq+0x80/0x108
el0_irq_naked+0x50/0x58

Therefore,I think it is necessary to report CPU utilization during the
softlockup_thresh period (report once every sample_period, for a total
of 5 reportings), like this:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
CPU#28 Utilization every 4s during lockup:
#1: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#2: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#3: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#4: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#5: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
...

This would be helpful in determining whether an interrupt storm has
occurred or in identifying the cause of the softlockup. The criteria for
determination are as follows:
a. If the hardirq utilization is high, then interrupt storm should be
considered and the root cause cannot be determined from the call tree.
b. If the softirq utilization is high, then we could analyze the call
tree but it may cannot reflect the root cause.
c. If the system utilization is high, then we could analyze the root
cause from the call tree.

To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of the name 'idx_to_stat' as the
concept of an
index is already implied by the nature of an array, so adding 'idx' is
redundant.
I suggest shortening the name.

There are two instances where right shift operations are used; it is
suggested to employ a helper macro for a more comfortable look.
