A shortcoming of the current lockdep implementation is that it requires
lock keys to be allocated statically. That forces all instances of lock
objects that occur in a given data structure to share a lock key. Since
lock dependency analysis groups lock objects per key sharing lock keys
can cause false positive lockdep reports. Make it possible to avoid
such false positive reports by allowing lock keys to be allocated
dynamically. Require that dynamically allocated lock keys are
registered before use by calling lockdep_register_key(). Complain about
attempts to register the same lock key pointer twice without calling
lockdep_unregister_key() between successive registration calls.
The purpose of the new lock_keys_hash[] data structure that keeps
track of all dynamic keys is twofold:
- Verify whether the lockdep_register_key() and lockdep_unregister_key()
functions are used correctly.
- Avoid that lockdep_init_map() complains when encountering a dynamically
allocated key.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
