      Do as Linus suggested. The lock protection lock is called nest_lock.
      
      Note that we still have the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH (48) limit to consider, so anything
      that spills that it still up shit creek.

      lockdep: fix combinatorial explosion in lock subgraph traversal · 419ca3f1
      David Miller 提交于
      When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we
      are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere
      in a node reachable in the graph.
      
      Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more
      than once to get a correct answer to the given query.
      
      Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we
      need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before
      doing a traversal.  A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and
      we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked
      with the new value yet.
      
      This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count
      systems.  The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take
      two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of
      backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes.
      Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on
      a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system
      with N cpus.
      
      For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring
      the machine to a complete standstill.

      the lockdep functions via the mcount call. To prevent possible
      lockups, updating the lockdep_recursion counter on grabbing the internal

      ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings · 81d68a96
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
      (how long interrupts are disabled for).
      
       "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
      
      Note:
        tracing_max_latency
          also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
         (default to large number so one must start latency tracing)
      
        tracing_thresh
          threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
          is detected to be longer than stated here.
          If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
          is ignored.
      
      Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

      this patch extends the soft-lockup detector to automatically
      detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. Such hung tasks are
      printed the following way:

       <------------------
      
      the current default timeout is 120 seconds. Such messages are printed
      up to 10 times per bootup. If the system has crashed already then the
      messages are not printed.
      
      if lockdep is enabled then all held locks are printed as well.
      
      this feature is a natural extension to the softlockup-detector (kernel
      locked up without scheduling) and to the NMI watchdog (kernel locked up
      with IRQs disabled).

      We can also simplify in_range checks, we need only 2 comparisons, not 4.

      or at the right.

      lockdep debugging: give stacktrace for init_error · c71063c9

      When I started adding support for lockdep to 64-bit powerpc, I got a
      lockdep_init_error and with this patch was able to pinpoint why and where
      to put lockdep_init().  Let's support this generally for others adding
      lockdep support to their architecture.

      We measure acquisition and contention bouncing.
      
      This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance.
      
      Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we
      move __acquired into the generic path.
      
      __acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the
      current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it.
      
      __contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable
      locks)

      'contentions' and 'acquisitions' are the number of such events measured (since
      the last reset). The waittime- and holdtime- (min, max, total) numbers are
      presented in microseconds.
      
      If there are any contention points, the lock class is presented in the block
      format (as i_mutex and tree_lock above), otherwise a single line of output is
      presented.
      
      The output is sorted on absolute number of contentions (read + write), this
      should get the worst offenders presented first, so that:
      
       # grep : /proc/lock_stat | head
      
      will quickly show who's bad.
      
      The stats can be reset using:
      
       # echo 0 > /proc/lock_stat

      lockstat: core infrastructure · f20786ff
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Introduce the core lock statistics code.
      
      Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
      of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
      call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.
      
      Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
      into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
      a too coarse locking scheme.
      
      Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
      the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.
      
        1)
          lock
        2)
          ... do stuff ..
          unlock
        3)
      
      The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
      hold-time.
      
      The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
      into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
      for lock instrumentation.
      
      Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:
      
        lock()
          lock_acquire()
          _lock()
      
       ... code protected by lock ...
      
        unlock()
          lock_release()
          _unlock()
      
      We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.
      
        lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
        lock_acquired()  - completion of the contention
      
      These are then placed the following way:
      
        lock()
          lock_acquire()
          if (!_try_lock())
            lock_contended()
            _lock()
            lock_acquired()
      
       ... do locked stuff ...
      
        unlock()
          lock_release()
          _unlock()
      
      (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
             dependent lock primitive implementations.)
      
      It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:
      
        /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
        /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
      
      (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

      kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' · 9281acea
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
      trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
      buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
      forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
      because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
      
      This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
      
      * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
        is fixed.
      
      * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
        MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
        trailing '\0'.  Fix it.
