[PATCH v4 4/7] locking/lockdep: Introduce CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE_FULLSTACK

From: Byungchul Park <hidden>
Date: 2017-10-25 05:11:09
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linux-xfs, lkml
Subsystem: library code, locking primitives, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Will Deacon, Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

The boot parameter, crossrelease_fullstack, was introduced to control
whether to enable unwind in cross-release or not. Add a Kconfig doing
the same thing.

+	 The lockdep "cross-release" feature needs to record stack traces
+	 (of calling functions) for all acquisitions, for eventual later
+	 use during analysis. By default only a single caller is recorded,
+	 because the unwind operation can be very expensive with deeper
+	 stack chains.
+
+	 However a boot parameter, crossrelease_fullstack, was
+	 introduced since sometimes deeper traces are required for full
+	 analysis. This option turns on the boot parameter.
