Tetsuo Handa 401c636a0e kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic
When we get a hung task it can often be valuable to see _all_ the hung
tasks on the system before calling panic().

----------------------------------------

When reporting an AB-BA deadlock like shown above, it would be nice if
trace of PID=6541 is printed as well as trace of PID=6540 before calling
panic().

Showing hung tasks up to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_warnings could delay
calling panic() but normally there should not be so many hung tasks.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
