sched: Warn on long periods of pending need_resched
CPU scheduler marks need_resched flag to signal a schedule() on a particular CPU. But, schedule() may not happen immediately in cases where the current task is executing in the kernel mode (no preemption state) for extended periods of time. This patch adds a warn_on if need_resched is pending for more than the time specified in sysctl resched_latency_warn_ms. If it goes off, it is likely that there is a missing cond_resched() somewhere. Monitoring is done via the tick and the accuracy is hence limited to jiffy scale. This also means that we won't trigger the warning if the tick is disabled. This feature (LATENCY_WARN) is default disabled.
