Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 tip/core/rcu 21/22] rcu-tasks: Add a grace-period start time for throttling and debug
Date:   Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:10:59 -0700
Message-Id: <20200319001100.24917-21-paulmck@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200319001024.GA28798@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

Precedence: bulk

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit adds a place to record the grace-period start in jiffies.
This will be used by later commits for debugging purposes and to throttle
IPIs early in the grace period.
