From: Ruipeng Qi <[email protected]> Extend the hung_task detector test module with an rtmutex test. When CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is enabled, the module creates an additional "rtmutex" debugfs file under <debugfs>/hung_task. Concurrent reads hold and contend on an rtmutex for 256 seconds, allowing hung-task and blocker reporting to be tested for rtmutex waits. Usage is: > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task > cat rtmutex & cat rtmutex Update the module usage comments and Kconfig description to document the rtmutex debugfs file.
