[PATCH] spinlock debugging on uniprocessors
Patch from Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> This enables spinlock debuggng on uniprocessor builds, under CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK. The reason I want this is that one day we'll need to pull out the debugging support from the timer code which detects uninitialised timers. And once that has gone, uniprocessor developers and testers have no way of detecting uninitialised timers - there will be mysterious deadlocks on SMP machines. And there will surely be more uninitialised timers The patch also removes the last pieces of the support for including <asm/spinlock.h> directly. Doesn't work since (IIRC) 2.3.x
