This is a simple wrapper to make using liblockdep on existing
applications much easier.
After running 'make && make install', it becomes quite simple to
test things with liblockdep. For example, to try it on perf:
lockdep perf
No other integration required.

[ Changed it to load ./liblockdep.so, so it can be tested in situ. ]

This allows lockdep to be used without being compiled in the
original program.
Usage is quite simple:
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/liblockdep.so /path/to/my/program
And magically, you'll have lockdep checking in your program!

These headers provide the same API as their pthread mutex
counterparts.
The design here is to allow to easily switch to liblockdep lock
validation just by adding a "liblockdep_" to pthread_mutex_*()
calls, which means that it's easy to integrate liblockdep into
existing codebases.

kernel/locking/lockdep.c deals with validating locking scenarios for
various architectures supported by the kernel. There isn't
anything kernel specific going on in lockdep, and when we
compare userspace to other architectures that don't have to deal
with irqs such as s390, they become all too similar.
We wrap kernel/locking/lockdep.c and include/linux/lockdep.h with
several headers which allow us to build and use lockdep from
userspace. We don't touch the kernel code itself which means
that any work done on lockdep in the kernel will automatically
benefit userspace lockdep as well!
