lib: Add backtrace_idle parameter to force backtrace of idle CPUs
Currently, the nmi_cpu_backtrace() declines to produce backtraces for idle CPUs. This is a good choice in the common case in which problems are caused only by non-idle CPUs. However, there are occasionally situations in which idle CPUs are helping to cause problems. This commit therefore adds an nmi_backtrace.backtrace_idle kernel boot parameter that causes nmi_cpu_backtrace() to dump stacks even of idle CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
