-The following problems can result in an RCU CPU stall warning:
+When a CPU detects that it is stalling, it will print a message similar
+to the following:
+
+INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 5 (t=2500 jiffies)
+
+This message indicates that CPU 5 detected that it was causing a stall,
+and that the stall was affecting RCU-sched.  This message will normally be
+followed by a stack dump of the offending CPU.  On TREE_RCU kernel builds,
+RCU and RCU-sched are implemented by the same underlying mechanism,
+while on TREE_PREEMPT_RCU kernel builds, RCU is instead implemented
+by rcu_preempt_state.
+
+On the other hand, if the offending CPU fails to print out a stall-warning
+message quickly enough, some other CPU will print a message similar to
+the following:
+
+INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 3 5 } (detected by 2, 2502 jiffies)
+
+This message indicates that CPU 2 detected that CPUs 3 and 5 were both
+causing stalls, and that the stall was affecting RCU-bh.  This message
+will normally be followed by stack dumps for each CPU.  Please note that
+TREE_PREEMPT_RCU builds can be stalled by tasks as well as by CPUs,
+and that the tasks will be indicated by PID, for example, "P3421".
+It is even possible for a rcu_preempt_state stall to be caused by both
+CPUs -and- tasks, in which case the offending CPUs and tasks will all
+be called out in the list.
+
+Finally, if the grace period ends just as the stall warning starts
+printing, there will be a spurious stall-warning message:
+
+INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { } (detected by 4, 2502 jiffies)
+
+This is rare, but does happen from time to time in real life.
+

+"What caused it?"  The following problems can result in RCU CPU stall

 o	For !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, a CPU looping anywhere in the kernel

+			==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+  SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture).
+  weblink : http://www.st.com/spear
+
+  The ST Microelectronics SPEAr range of ARM9/CortexA9 System-on-Chip CPUs are
+  supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr300,
+  SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported. Support for the SPEAr13XX
+  series is in progress.
+
+  Hierarchy in SPEAr is as follows:
+
+  SPEAr (Platform)
+	- SPEAr3XX (3XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
+		- SPEAr300 (SOC)
+			- SPEAr300_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+		- SPEAr310 (SOC)
+			- SPEAr310_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+		- SPEAr320 (SOC)
+			- SPEAr320_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+	- SPEAr6XX (6XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
+		- SPEAr600 (SOC)
+			- SPEAr600_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+	- SPEAr13XX (13XX SOC series, based on ARM CORTEXA9)
+		- SPEAr1300 (SOC)
+
+  Configuration
+  -------------
+
+  A generic configuration is provided for each machine, and can be used as the
+  default by
+	make spear600_defconfig
+	make spear300_defconfig
+	make spear310_defconfig
+	make spear320_defconfig
+
+  Layout
+  ------
+
+  The common files for multiple machine families (SPEAr3XX, SPEAr6XX and
+  SPEAr13XX) are located in the platform code contained in arch/arm/plat-spear
+  with headers in plat/.
+
+  Each machine series have a directory with name arch/arm/mach-spear followed by
+  series name. Like mach-spear3xx, mach-spear6xx and mach-spear13xx.
+
+  Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c and for
+  spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine
+  specific files, like spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and spear600.c.
+  mach-spear* also contains board specific files for each machine type.
