Currently rcu_cpu_stall_reset() set rcu_state.jiffies_stall to one check period later, i.e. jiffies + rcu_jiffies_till_stall_check(). But jiffies is only updated in the timer interrupt, so when kgdb_cpu_enter() begins to run there may already be nearly one rcu check period after jiffies. Since all interrupts are disabled during kgdb_cpu_enter(), jiffies will not be updated. When kgdb_cpu_enter() returns, rcu_state.jiffies_stall maybe already gets timeout.
We can set rcu_state.jiffies_stall to two rcu check periods later, e.g. jiffies + (rcu_jiffies_till_stall_check() * 2) in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() to avoid this problem. But this isn't a complete solution because kgdb may take a very long time in irq disabled context.
Instead, update jiffies at the beginning of rcu_cpu_stall_reset() can solve all kinds of problems.
Would it make sense for there to be a kgdb_cpu_exit()? In that case, the stalls could simply be suppressed at the beginning of the debug session and re-enabled upon exit, as is currently done for sysrq output via rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end().
Thank you for your advice, but that doesn't help. Because rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end() try to suppress the warnings during sysrq, but kgdb already has no warnings during kgdb_cpu_enter() since it is executed in irq disabled context. Instead, this patch wants to suppress the warnings *after* kgdb_cpu_enter() due to a very old jiffies value.
