Subject: [PATCH] docs: irqflags-tracing: Fix the lockdep Kconfig option names
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 04:37:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905023746.82998-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
CONFIG_PROVE_SPIN_LOCKING, CONFIG_PROVE_RW_LOCKING,
CONFIG_PROVE_MUTEX_LOCKING and CONFIG_PROVE_RWSEM_LOCKING have never
existed in mainline. Lock proving was merged as the single
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, which has depended on CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
from the start, so there is no reduced set of options without it.
Fixes: 55df314fbdb4 ("[PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, docs")

Architecture support for this is certainly not in the "trivial"
category, because lots of lowlevel assembly code deal with irq-flags
