When task-hung happens, developers may need different kinds of system information (call-stacks, memory info, locks, etc.) to help debugging. Add 'hung_task_sys_info' sysctl knob to take human readable string like "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,...", and when task-hung happens, all requested information will be dumped. (refer kernel/sys_info.c for more details). Meanwhile, the newly introduced sys_info() call is used to unify some existing info-dumping knobs.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
