 /*
+ * The purpose of the lock event counting subsystem is to provide a low
+ * overhead way to record the number of specific locking events by using
+ * percpu counters. It is the percpu sum that matters, not specifically
+ * how many of them happens in each cpu.
+ *
+ * It is possible that the same percpu counter may be modified in both
+ * the process and interrupt contexts. For architectures that perform
+ * percpu operation with multiple instructions, it is possible to lose
+ * count if a process context percpu update is interrupted in the middle
+ * and the same counter is updated in the interrupt context. Therefore,
+ * the generated percpu sum may not be precise. The error, if any, should
+ * be small and insignificant.
+ *
+ * For those architectures that do multi-instruction percpu operation,
+ * preemption in the middle and moving the task to another cpu may cause
+ * a larger error in the count. Again, this will be few and far between.
+ * Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting
+ * the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big
+ * problem.
+ *
+ * To get a better picture of what is happening under the hood, it is
+ * suggested that a few measurements should be taken with the counts
+ * reset in between to stamp out outliner because of these possible
+ * error conditions.
+ *
+ * To minimize overhead, we use __this_cpu_*() in all cases except when
+ * CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined. In this particular case, this_cpu_*()
+ * will be used to avoid the appearance of unwanted BUG messages.
