[PATCH v3] lockdep: Make lockstats counting per cpu

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Sat Mar 27 2010 - 20:30:02 EST


Locking statistics are implemented using global atomic variables.
This is usually fine unless some path write them very often.

This is the case for the function and function graph tracers
that disable irqs for each entry saved (except if the function
tracer is in preempt disabled only mode).
And calls to local_irq_save/restore() increment hardirqs_on_events
and hardirqs_off_events stats (or similar stats for redundant
versions).

Incrementing these global vars for each function ends up in too
much cache bouncing if lockstats are enabled.

To solve this, implement the debug_atomic_*() operations using
per cpu vars.

v2: Use per_cpu() instead of get_cpu_var() to fetch the desired
cpu vars on debug_atomic_read()

v3: Store the stats in a structure. No need for local_t as we
are NMI/irq safe.
