this patch extends the soft-lockup detector to automatically
detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. Such hung tasks are
printed the following way:
------------------>
INFO: task prctl:3042 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message
prctl D fd5e3793 0 3042 2997

#1: (jbd_handle){--..}, at: [<c01ca3d2>] journal_start+0xc7/0xe9
<------------------
the current default timeout is 120 seconds. Such messages are printed
up to 10 times per bootup. If the system has crashed already then the
messages are not printed.
if lockdep is enabled then all held locks are printed as well.
this feature is a natural extension to the softlockup-detector (kernel
locked up without scheduling) and to the NMI watchdog (kernel locked up
with IRQs disabled).

Matthew Wilcox noticed that the debug_locks_silent use should be inverted
in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(). This bug was causing spurious stacktraces and
incorrect failures in the locking self-test on the parisc kernel.

Make the locking self-test failures (of 'FAILURE' type) easier to debug by

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"
