In kernels with CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, more information is printed
for each CPU:

+ 0: (64628 ticks this GP) idle=dd5/3fffffffffffffff/0 softirq=82/543 last_accelerate: a345/d342 Nonlazy posted: ..D
The "last_accelerate:" prints the low-order 16 bits (in hex) of the
jiffies counter when this CPU last invoked rcu_try_advance_all_cbs()
from rcu_needs_cpu() or last invoked rcu_accelerate_cbs() from
-rcu_prepare_for_idle(). The "nonlazy_posted:" prints the number
-of non-lazy callbacks posted since the last call to rcu_needs_cpu().
-Finally, an "L" indicates that there are currently no non-lazy callbacks
-("." is printed otherwise, as shown above) and "D" indicates that
-dyntick-idle processing is enabled ("." is printed otherwise, for example,
-if disabled via the "nohz=" kernel boot parameter).

If the grace period ends just as the stall warning starts printing,
there will be a spurious stall-warning message, which will include
