liblockdep is simply userspace lockdep. We can use that to analyze and
verify the locking in perf.
Usage is simple, to compile perf with liblockdep all that's needed it:
make LIBLOCK=[path to liblockdep]
Once liblockdep support is compiled in, perf will yell if locking goes
wrong for any reason:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
liblockdep 0.0.1
---------------------------------------------
perf/23237 is trying to acquire lock:
(sched.start_work_mutex){......}, at: ./perf() [0x419793]
but task is already holding lock:
(sched.start_work_mutex){......}, at: ./perf() [0x419793]
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(sched.start_work_mutex);
lock(sched.start_work_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
2 locks held by perf/23237:
#0: (sched.start_work_mutex){......}, at: ./perf() [0x419793]
#1: (sched.work_done_wait_mutex){......}, at: ./perf() [0x419793]
