sched_clock: Add local_clock() API and improve documentation

2010-06-09T08:34:49Z

For people who otherwise get to write: cpu_clock(smp_processor_id()), there is now: local_clock(). Also, as per suggestion from Andrew, provide some documentation on the various clock interfaces, and minimize the unsigned long long vs u64 mess.

lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion

2010-05-21T16:37:30Z

The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic mutex debugging coverage. Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.

rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat

2010-05-10T18:08:31Z

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat, so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference(). To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can be detected per boot. This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY, which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep splats per boot to easily do so.

tracing: Drop the nested field from lock_release event

2010-05-09T11:45:34Z

Drop the nested field as we don't use it. Every nested state can be computed from a state machine on post processing already. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Hitoshi Mitake Cc: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Drop lock_acquired waittime field

2010-05-09T11:45:32Z

Drop the waittime field from the lock_acquired event, we can calculate it by substracting the lock_acquired event timestamp with the matching lock_acquire one. It is not needed and takes useless space in the traces.

lockdep: Reduce stack_trace usage

2010-05-07T09:27:26Z

When calling check_prevs_add(), if all validations passed add_lock_to_list() will add new lock to dependency tree and alloc stack_trace for each list_entry. But at this time, we are always on the same stack, so stack_trace for each list_entry has the same value. This is redundant and eats up lots of memory which could lead to warning on low MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES. Use one copy of stack_trace instead. V2: As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, move save_trace() from check_prevs_add() to check_prev_add(). Add tracking for trylock dependence which is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Yong Zhang Cc: David S.

lockdep: Provide off case for redundant_hardirqs_on increment

2010-05-04T03:37:28Z

We forgot to provide a !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP case for the redundant_hardirqs_on stat handling. Manage that in the headers with a new __debug_atomic_inc() helper. Fixes: kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: 'lockdep_stats' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/lockdep.c:2306: error: for each function it appears in.)

lockdep: Fix redundant_hardirqs_on incremented with irqs enabled

2010-04-30T17:15:49Z

When a path restore the flags while irqs are already enabled, we update the per cpu var redundant_hardirqs_on in a racy fashion and debug_atomic_inc() warns about this situation. In this particular case, loosing a few hits in a stat is not a big deal, so increment it without protection. v2: Don't bother with disabling irq, we can miss one count in rare situations Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: David Miller Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
