fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdep
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock
statistics.

It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that
encountered contention.

It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and
maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number
of event can give the avg).

All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read
(shared state).

The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is
minimized via having no global cachemisses.

This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking
traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is
also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby
avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance.

This patch:

raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself
relies on it.
