2019-06-03locking/lock_events: Use raw_cpu_{add,inc}() for statsPeter Zijlstra
Instead of playing silly games with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT toggling between this_cpu_*() and __this_cpu_*() use raw_cpu_*(), which is exactly what we want here.

2019-05-24locking/lock_events: Use this_cpu_add() when necessaryWaiman Long
The kernel test robot has reported that the use of __this_cpu_add() causes bug messages like: BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ... Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big problem to use the unprotected __this_cpu_*() functions. To make the preemption checking code happy, the this_cpu_*() functions will be used if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined. The imprecise nature of the locking counts are also documented with the suggestion that we should run the measurement a few times with the counts reset in between to get a better picture of what is going on under the hood.

2019-04-10locking/lock_events: Make lock_events available for all archs & other locksWaiman Long
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.

2019-04-10locking/qspinlock_stat: Introduce generic lockevent_*() counting APIsWaiman Long
The percpu event counts used by qspinlock code can be useful for other locking code as well. So a new set of lockevent_* counting APIs is introduced with the lock event names extracted out into the new lock_events_list.h header file for easier addition in the future. The existing qstat_inc() calls are replaced by either lockevent_inc() or lockevent_cond_inc() calls. The qstat_hop() call is renamed to lockevent_pv_hop(). The "reset_counters" debugfs file is also renamed to ".reset_counts".
