locking/lockdep: Fix meaningless /proc/lockdep output of lock classes…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… on !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING

When enabling CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y, then CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y is forcedly enabled,
but CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.

We can get output from /proc/lockdep, which currently includes usages of
lock classes. But the usages are meaningless, see the output below:

	/ # cat /proc/lockdep
	all lock classes:
	ffffffff9af63350 ....: cgroup_mutex

	ffffffff9af54eb8 ....: (console_sem).lock

	ffffffff9af54e60 ....: console_lock

	ffffffff9ae74c38 ....: console_owner_lock

	ffffffff9ae74c80 ....: console_owner

	ffffffff9ae66e60 ....: cpu_hotplug_lock

Only one usage context for each lock, this is because each usage is only
changed in mark_lock() that is in the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y section,
however in the test situation, it's not.

The fix is to move the usages reading and seq_print from the
!CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING section to its defined section.

Also, locks_after list of lock_class is empty when !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
so do the same thing as what have done for usages of lock classes.

With this patch with !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING we can get the results below:

	/ # cat /proc/lockdep
	all lock classes:
	ffffffff85163290: cgroup_mutex
	ffffffff85154dd8: (console_sem).lock
	ffffffff85154d80: console_lock
	ffffffff85074b58: console_owner_lock
	ffffffff85074ba0: console_owner
	ffffffff85066d60: cpu_hotplug_lock

... a class key and the relevant class name each line.
