[PATCH-tip 0/3] locking/lockdep: Cleaning up lockdep code
From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed Feb 12 2020 - 10:38:57 EST
The following conditional compilation macros are used throughout the
lockdep code making it hard to understand.
- CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
- CONFIG_LOCK_STAT
- CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP
- CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL
- CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS
In particular, almost half of the code is for CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and
there are several blocks of them in lockdep.c. It is very hard to see if
a function is for CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING or not.
This patchset cleans up this mess by putting all the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
functions into a separate lockdep_prove.c file making it easier to know
what they are for. It also consolidates the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP code
to a certain extend.
This is a code relocation patchset. There is no functional change.
Waiman Long (3):
locking/lockdep: Make remove_class_from_lock_chains() depend on
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
locking/lockdep: Extract CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING code out to
lockdep_prove.c
locking/lockdep: Consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP code
