2011-11-23debugobjects: Extend to assert that an object is initializedChristine Chan1-0/+50
Calling del_timer_sync() on an uninitialized timer leads to a never ending loop in lock_timer_base() that spins checking for a non-NULL timer base. Add an assertion to debugobjects to catch usage of uninitialized objects so that we can initialize timers in the del_timer_sync() path before it calls lock_timer_base().

2009-06-15debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.GeunSik Lim1-1/+1
Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/" directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file. And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name of debugfs filesystem. - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/ Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem. * From Steven Rostedt - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.
