From 9a11b49a805665e13a56aa067afaf81d43ec1514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 00:24:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- lib/debug_locks.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 45 insertions(+) create mode 100644 lib/debug_locks.c (limited to 'lib/debug_locks.c') diff --git a/lib/debug_locks.c b/lib/debug_locks.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..0ef01d14727c --- /dev/null +++ b/lib/debug_locks.c @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +/* + * lib/debug_locks.c + * + * Generic place for common debugging facilities for various locks: + * spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems. + * + * Started by Ingo Molnar: + * + * Copyright (C) 2006 Red Hat, Inc., Ingo Molnar + */ +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include + +/* + * We want to turn all lock-debugging facilities on/off at once, + * via a global flag.
