2025-05-11samples: extend hung_task detector test with semaphore supportZi Li
Extend the existing hung_task detector test module to support multiple lock types, including mutex and semaphore, with room for future additions (e.g., spinlock, etc.). This module creates dummy files under <debugfs>/hung_task, such as 'mutex' and 'semaphore'. The read process on any of these files will sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding the respective lock. As a result, the second process will wait on the lock for a prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector. This change unifies the previous mutex-only sample into a single, extensible hung_task_tests module, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. Usage is: > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task > cat mutex & cat mutex # Test mutex blocking > cat semaphore & cat semaphore # Test semaphore blocking Update the Kconfig description to reflect multiple debugfs files support.

2025-03-21samples: add hung_task detector mutex blocking sampleMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Add a hung_task detector mutex blocking test sample code. This module will create a dummy file on the debugfs. That file will cause the read process to sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding a mutex. As a result, the second process will wait on the mutex for a prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector. Usage is; > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task > cat mutex & cat mutex and wait for hung_task message.
