434
435As always, this is once again split into "rcu" and "rcu_bh" portions.
436The fields are as follows:
437
438o "np" is the number of times that __rcu_pending() has been invoked
439 for the corresponding flavor of RCU.
440
441o "qsp" is the number of times that the RCU was waiting for a
442 quiescent state from this CPU.
443
444o "cbr" is the number of times that this CPU had RCU callbacks
445 that had passed through a grace period, and were thus ready
446 to be invoked.
447
448o "cng" is the number of times that this CPU needed another
449 grace period while RCU was idle.
450
451o "gpc" is the number of times that an old grace period had
452 completed, but this CPU was not yet aware of it.
453
454o "gps" is the number of times that a new grace period had started,
455 but this CPU was not yet aware of it.
456
457o "nf" is the number of times that this CPU suspected that the
458 current grace period had run for too long, and thus needed to
459 be forced.
460
461 Please note that "forcing" consists of sending resched IPIs
462 to holdout CPUs. If that CPU really still is in an old RCU
463 read-side critical section, then we really do have to wait for it.
464 The assumption behing "forcing" is that the CPU is not still in
465 an old RCU read-side critical section, but has not yet responded
466 for some other reason.
467
468o "nn" is the number of times that this CPU needed nothing. Alert
469 readers will note that the rcu "nn" number for a given CPU very
470 closely matches the rcu_bh "np" number for that same CPU. This
471 is due to short-circuit evaluation in rcu_pending().
