Mark noticed that he had sporadic "spinlock recursion" warnings from the DEBUG_SPINLOCK code. Now rq->lock is special in that the owner changes in the middle of a context switch. It so happens that we fix up the lock.owner too late, @prev can run (remotely) the moment prev->on_cpu is cleared, this then allows @prev to again try and acquire this rq->lock and trigger this warning. So we have to switch lock.owner before clearing prev->on_cpu. Do this by moving the DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation from after switch_to() to before switch_to() and collect all lockdep annotations there into prepare_lock_switch() to mirror the existing finish_lock_switch().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
