Patch series "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls", v2. Commits9db89b4111("exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs") and8b05aa2633("panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs") added counters for oopses and warnings to sysfs, and these two patches do the same for hard/soft lockups and RCU stalls. All of these counters are useful for monitoring tools to detect whether the machine is healthy. If the kernel has experienced a lockup or a stall, it's probably due to a kernel bug, and I'd like to detect that quickly and easily. There is currently no way to detect that, other than parsing dmesg. Or observing indirect effects: such as certain tasks not responding, but then I need to observe all tasks, and it may take a while until these effects become visible/measurable. I'd rather be able to detect the primary cause more quickly, possibly before everything falls apart. This patch (of 2): There is /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count, /sys/kernel/warn_count and /sys/kernel/oops_count but there is no userspace-accessible counter for hard/soft lockups. Having this is useful for monitoring tools.
