Yes, I was able to collect the perf data for rcu_invoke_callback event on recent next kernel (4.12.0-next-20170705). the issue is rare to hit. After booting the next kernel, I started this command 'perf record -e rcu:rcu_invoke_callback -a -g -- cat' and waited for 30 minutes. five minutes after seeing the stalls messages, I did CTRL-C to end the perf command. @Nicholas : the perf.data report is too huge to attach here, shall I ping you the internal location of file on slack/mail ?
