The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or
nothing.
Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient
glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when
multiple tasks hang simultaneously.
Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan.
This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents
and system-wide failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged)
- N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility.

Recent change [0] resulted in a "BUG: using __this_cpu_read() in
preemptible" splat [1]. PREEMPT kernels have additional requirements
on what can and can not run with/without preemption enabled.
Expose those constrains in the debug kernels.

Patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs", v3.
The series reworks generic PTDUMP configs before eventually renaming them
after some basic cleanups first.
This patch (of 5):
The platforms that support GENERIC_PTDUMP select the config explicitly.
But enabling this feature on platforms that don't really support - does
nothing or might cause a build failure. Hence just drop GENERIC_PTDUMP
from generic debug.config

Commit 0aaa8977acbf ("configs: introduce debug.config for CI-like setup")
added CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y to the common CI config,
but RCU_EXPERT is not set, and it's a dependency for
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y. Make sure CIs take advantage
of CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y, recent fixes in networking
indicate that it does catch bugs.

The debug.config file is really great to easily enable a bunch of
general debugging features on a CI-like setup. But it would be great to
also include core networking debugging config.
A few CI's validating features from the Net tree also enable a few other
debugging options on top of debug.config. A small selection is quite
generic for the whole net tree. They validate some assumptions in
different parts of the core net tree. As suggested by Jakub Kicinski in
[1], having them added to this debug.config file would help other CIs
using network features to find bugs in this area.
Note that the two REFCNT configs also select REF_TRACKER, which doesn't
seem to be an issue.

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.
Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

Previously, I failed to realize that Kees' patch [1] has not been merged
into the mainline yet, and dropped DEBUG_INFO=y too eagerly from the
mainline. As the results, "make debug.config" won't be able to flip
DEBUG_INFO=n from the existing .config. This should close the gaps of a
few weeks before Kees' patch is there, and work regardless of their
merging status anyway.

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO can't be set by user directly, so set
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y instead.
Otherwise, we end up with no debuginfo in vmlinux which is a big no-no
for kernel debugging.

Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc
help fix many viruses like a microscope. On the other hand, those
features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging
options making them difficult to consume properly. This cold help
amplify the general debugging/testing efforts and help establish
sensitive default values for those options across the broad. This could
also help different distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored
kernels.
The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the
largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on
linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms. It can
be used for example,
$ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config
Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create
a separate one for KCSAN later as well.
