Lockdep usage

[Darren Hart]

I'm having some trouble with lockstat. I've enabled CONFIG_LOCK_STATS 
and then run the following commands to collect the lock statistics for 
the futex_lock test case. I expect this test case to generate a fair 
amount of contention on the futex hash bucket locks, but they don't show 
up in the stats (in fact, nothing shows up in the stats). I have seen 
much longer lock_stat files when I forgot to clear them before the test, 
but no hb locks showed up there either.

Is my usage below incorrect? Do I have to somehow annotate the hb->lock 
in order for lockstat to track it?

This is as of:
