    locking/lock_events: Make lock_events available for all archs & other locks · fb346fd9
    Waiman Long authored
    The QUEUED_LOCK_STAT option to report queued spinlocks event counts
    was previously allowed only on x86 architecture. To make the locking
    event counting code more useful, it is now renamed to a more generic
    LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS config option. This new option will be available to
    all the architectures that use qspinlock at the moment.
    
    Other locking code can now start to use the generic locking event
    counting code by including lock_events.h and put the new locking event
    names into the lock_events_list.h header file.
    
    My experience with lock event counting is that it gives valuable insight
    on how the locking code works and what can be done to make it better. I
    would like to extend this benefit to other locking code like mutex and
    rwsem in the near future.
    
    The PV qspinlock specific code will stay in qspinlock_stat.h. The
    locking event counters will now reside in the <debugfs>/lock_event_counts
    directory.
