softlockup: improve debug output

Browse Source 
Improve the debuggability of kernel lockups by enhancing the debug
output of the softlockup detector: print the task that causes the lockup
and try to print a more intelligent backtrace.

The old format was:

  BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!
   [<c0105e4a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x19/0x2e
   [<c0105f43>] show_trace+0x12/0x14
   [<c0105f59>] dump_stack+0x14/0x16
   [<c015f6bc>] softlockup_tick+0xbe/0xd0
   [<c013457d>] run_local_timers+0x12/0x14
   [<c01346b8>] update_process_times+0x3e/0x63
   [<c0145fb8>] tick_sched_timer+0x7c/0xc0
   [<c0140a75>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x135/0x1ba
   [<c011bde7>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x80
   [<c0105aa3>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x33/0x38
   [<c0104f8a>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
   =======================

The new format is:

  BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1! [prctl:2363]

  Pid: 2363, comm:                prctl
  EIP: 0060:[<c013915f>] CPU: 1
  EIP is at sys_prctl+0x24/0x18c
   EFLAGS: 00000213    Not tainted  (2.6.22-cfs-v20 #26)

   [<c0105aa3>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x33/0x38
   [<c0104f8a>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
   =======================

Note that in the old format we only knew that some system call locked
up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]

This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)

The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.
