[PATCH 14/15] x86/split_lock: Add CONFIG and testing sysfs interface

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 14:52:54 EST


CONFIG_SPLIT_LOCK_AC_TEST is added to enable sysfs interface
/sys/kernel/split_lock/test_kernel to test split lock in kernel.

Writing 1 to the file triggers a split locked access in kernel.
User can use this interface to test how split locked access
happening in kernel is handled.

The file is not readable.
