      The unit is KB, so sizeof(struct circular_queue) should be
      divided by 1024.

      lockdep: Reintroduce generation count to make BFS faster · e351b660
      Ming Lei authored
      
      We still can apply DaveM's generation count optimization to
      BFS, based on the following idea:
      
       - before doing each BFS, increase the global generation id
         by 1
      
       - if one node in the graph has been visited, mark it as
         visited by storing the current global generation id into
         the node's dep_gen_id field
      
       - so we can decide if one node has been visited already, by
         comparing the node's dep_gen_id with the global generation id.
      
      By applying DaveM's generation count optimization to current
      implementation of BFS, we gain the following advantages:
      
       - we save MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES/8 bytes memory;
      
       - we remove the bitmap_zero(bfs_accessed, MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES);
         in each BFS, which is very time-consuming since
         MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES may be very large.(16384UL)

      lockdep: Deal with many similar locks · bb97a91e
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      
      spin_lock_nest_lock() allows to take many instances of the same
      class, this can easily lead to overflow of MAX_LOCK_DEPTH.
      
      To avoid this overflow, we'll stop accounting instances but
      start reference counting the class in the held_lock structure.
      
      [ We could maintain a list of instances, if we'd move the hlock
        stuff into __lock_acquired(), but that would require
        significant modifications to the current code. ]
      
      We restrict this mode to spin_lock_nest_lock() only, because it
      degrades the lockdep quality due to lost of instance.
      
      For lockstat this means we don't track lock statistics for any
      but the first lock in the series.
      
      Currently nesting is limited to 11 bits because that was the
      spare space available in held_lock. This yields a 2048
      instances maximium.

      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.
      
      [ Impact: fix lock tracing after lockdep warnings. ]

      tracing: create automated trace defines · a8d154b0
      Steven Rostedt authored
      
      This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
      new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
      into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
      trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
      DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
      with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
      
      This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
      Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
      file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
      of that file.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/mytrace.h>
      
      This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
      necessary to implement the trace point.
      
      Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
      it is best to list them all together.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/foo.h>
       #include <trace/bar.h>
       #include <trace/fido.h>
      
      Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
      the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
      design to have the C code include a "special" header.
      
      This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
      method.

      tracing/lockdep: report the time waited for a lock · 2062501a
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      
      While trying to optimize the new lock on reiserfs to replace
      the bkl, I find the lock tracing very useful though it lacks
      something important for performance (and latency) instrumentation:
      the time a task waits for a lock.
      
      That's what this patch implements:
      
        bash-4816  [000]   202.652815: lock_contended: lock_contended: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key
        bash-4816  [000]   202.652819: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
       <...>-4787  [000]   202.652825: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
       <...>-4787  [000]   202.652829: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
        bash-4816  [000]   202.652833: lock_acquired: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key (16.005 us)
      
      As shown above, the "lock acquired" field is followed by the time
      it has been waiting for the lock. Usually, a lock contended entry
      is followed by a near lock_acquired entry with a non-zero time waited.
