      [PATCH] sched: cleanup, remove task_t, convert to struct task_struct · 36c8b586
      Ingo Molnar authored
      
      cleanup: remove task_t and convert all the uses to struct task_struct. I
      introduced it for the scheduler anno and it was a mistake.
      
      Conversion was mostly scripted, the result was reviewed and all
      secondary whitespace and style impact (if any) was fixed up by hand.

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar authored
      
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
               bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"
