Waiman Long 01a14bda11 locking/lockdep: Make global debug_locks* variables read-mostly
Make the frequently used lockdep global variable debug_locks read-mostly.
As debug_locks_silent is sometime used together with debug_locks,
it is also made read-mostly so that they can be close together.

With false cacheline sharing, cacheline contention problem can happen
depending on what get put into the same cacheline as debug_locks.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
