Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] config: Adding the new config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL for sparc
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 12:33:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1475004808-91920-2-git-send-email-babu.moger@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1475004808-91920-1-git-send-email-babu.moger@oracle.com>

This new config parameter limits the space used for "Lock debugging:
prove locking correctness" by about 4MB. The current sparc systems have
the limitation of 32MB size for kernel size including .text, .data and
.bss sections. With PROVE_LOCKING feature, the kernel size could grow
beyond this limit and causing system boot-up issues. With this option,
kernel limits the size of the entries of lock_chains, stack_trace etc.,
so that kernel fits in required size limit. This is not visible to user
and only used for sparc.
