lockmeter in 2.6.9-rc2-mm2

lockmeter in 2.6.9-rc2-mm2

[Ray Bryant]

This seems to compile for me, at least, haven't gotten to do a test of it.

Does the x86_64 stuff compile now?

AFAICT yes. I've been doing allyesconfig compiles for some header
cleanup sweeps on x86-64; LOCKMETER=y is set, and it compiles fine.

Great.

Please do.

yup.  I do regular x86 and x86_64 allfooconfig builds.  I'd do so on
sparc64/ppc64/ia64 too, if they had a chance of compiling :(

All it takes is grunt work to fix these; so how badly do you want them
fixed?

FWIW, AFAICT x86-64 doesn't build with allyesconfig either. I use the
following to carry out allyesconfig compiletests.

Well not greatly, except that each compile failure is usually due to a real
bug.  Ditto all the warnings, actually.

Andrew,

Just got around to testing lockmeter with 2.6.9-rc2-mm4.  It compiles
and works fine on i386, both in preempt and non-preempt kernels.

On Altix it compiles and boots fine, but hangs when you try to turn on
the lockmeter statististics (with "lockmeter on").  I'll pursue that
further tomorrow.
