Declaration macros that statically initialize embedded locks require static storage when lockdep is enabled. Automatic objects must use runtime initialization so lockdep receives a persistent class key. For automatic local objects, lockdep cannot use the lock address as a persistent class key and reports "INFO: trying to register non-static key" before disabling itself.So why haven't we been buried in reports about this warning coming out?
I have no answer. Maybe because lockdep isn't enabled by major distros... The original report came from i386 randconfig. It looks like a combination of some luck and a new code, probably attracting more robots attention.
Are there any code changes outside of testing?
ams_pmu_set/get_register in patch #6 for example.
