linux-stable.git/tools/lib/lockdep/uinclude/linux/compiler.h, branch linux-4.4.y Linux kernel stable tree tools/liblockdep: add userspace versions of WRITE_ONCE and RCU_INIT_POINTER 2015-11-06T21:01:36+00:00 Sasha Levin sasha.levin@oracle.com 2015-11-06T20:34:23+00:00 e308e942e122f5de1a180f0b2a4002d09a757f45 These were added to the kernel code in cee34d88c ("lockdep: Fix a race between /proc/lock_stat and module unload"). There's nothing special we need to do about them in userspace. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

liblockdep: Wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c to allow usage from userspace 2013-11-27T10:55:21+00:00 Sasha Levin sasha.levin@oracle.com 2013-06-13T22:41:17+00:00 5634bd7d2ab14fbf736b62b0788fb68e2cb0fde2 kernel/locking/lockdep.c deals with validating locking scenarios for various architectures supported by the kernel. There isn't anything kernel specific going on in lockdep, and when we compare userspace to other architectures that don't have to deal with irqs such as s390, they become all too similar. We wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c and include/linux/lockdep.h with several headers which allow us to build and use lockdep from userspace. We don't touch the kernel code itself which means that any work done on lockdep in the kernel will automatically benefit userspace lockdep as well!
