Subject: [PATCH] Default enable RCU list lockdep debugging with PROVE_RCU
From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@...il.com>
This patch default enables CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST option with
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU for RCU list lockdep debugging.
With this change, RCU list lockdep debugging will be default
enabled in CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernels.
Most of the RCU users (in core kernel/, drivers/, and net/
subsystem) have already been modified to include lockdep
expressions hence RCU list debugging can be enabled by
default.
However, there are still chances of enountering
false-positive lockdep splats because not everything is converted,
in case RCU list primitives are used in non-RCU read-side critical
section but under the protection of a lock. It would be okay to
have a few false-positives, as long as bugs are identified, since this
patch only affects debugging kernels.

- need to be converted to pass a lockdep expression. To prevent
