Just to make sure, are you both seeing the same thing? Last I knew,
Zhouyi was chasing an RCU-tasks issue that appears only in kernels
built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which Miguel does not have set. Or did
I miss something?
Miguel is instead seeing an RCU CPU stall warning where RCU's grace-period
kthread slept for three milliseconds, but did not wake up for more than
20 seconds. This kthread would normally have awakened on CPU 1, but
CPU 1 looks to me to be very unhealthy, as can be seen in your console
output below (but maybe my idea of what is healthy for powerpc systems
is outdated). Please see also the inline annotations.
Thoughts from the PPC guys?
Thanx, Paul

The grace-period kthread is still asleep (->state=0x402).
This indicates that the three-jiffy timer has somehow been
prevented from expiring for almost a full 21 seconds. Of course,
if timers don't work, RCU cannot work.
