      locking: Documentation: lockdep-design.txt, fix note of state bits · 992d7ced
      Ming Lei 提交于
      From source code of get_usage_char(), the previous note is not correct,
      so fix it.
      
      static char get_usage_char(struct lock_class *class, enum lock_usage_bit bit)
      {
      	char c = '.';
      
      	if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2))/*LOCK_ENABLED_##STATE*/
      		c = '+';
      	if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit)) {/*LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE*/
      		c = '-';
      		if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2))
      			c = '?';
      	}
      
      	return c;
      }
      
      note:
      
      1) The 'bit' parameter always is passed as  LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE
         or LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE_READ , from get_usage_chars().

      locking: clarify kernel-taint warning message · b48ccb09
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Andi Kleen reported this message triggering on non-lockdep kernels:
      
         Disabling lockdep due to kernel taint
      
      Clarify the message to say 'lock debugging' - debug_locks_off()
      turns off all things lock debugging, not just lockdep.

      lockdep, x86: account for irqs enabled in paranoid_exit · 0300e7f1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      I hit the check_flags error of lockdep:
      
       WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2893 check_flags+0x1a7/0x1d0()
       [...]
       hardirqs last  enabled at (12567): [<ffffffff8026206a>] local_bh_enable+0xaa/0x110
       hardirqs last disabled at (12569): [<ffffffff80610c76>] int3+0x16/0x40
       softirqs last  enabled at (12566): [<ffffffff80514d2b>] lock_sock_nested+0xfb/0x110
       softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0
      
      The check_flags warning of lockdep tells me that lockdep thought interrupts
      were disabled, but they were really enabled.
      
      The numbers in the above parenthesis show the order of events:
      
       12566: softirqs last enabled:  lock_sock_nested
       12567: hardirqs last enabled:  local_bh_enable
       12568: softirqs last disabled: tcp_prequeue_process
       12566: hardirqs last disabled: int3
      
      int3 is a breakpoint!
      
      Examining this further, I have CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE enabled which adds
      break points into the kernel.
      
      The paranoid_exit of the return of int3 does not account for enabling
      interrupts on return to kernel. This code is a bit tricky since it
      is also used by the nmi handler (when lockdep is off), and we must be
      careful about the swapgs. We can not call kernel code after the swapgs
      has been performed.

      Ah, nice catch. I think we should put at least the name in regardless.
      
      Ensure we at least initialize the trivial entries of the depmap so that
      they can be relied upon, even when lockdep itself decided to pack up and
      go home.
