[libvirt] [PATCH] Make locking more debuggable from logs

Mon Jul 22 13:44:04 UTC 2013
With this patch, there is new ./configure option '--enable-lock-debug'
which controls whether we want to turn on debugging locks. This
feature is exposed as a ./configure option due to its huge overhead in
speed/log size and is only meant to be used with this in mind. It is
designed in a way that even log from deadlocked daemon should provide
enough info to find the deadlock itself. Every matching Lock() call
can be matched with its Unlock() call and with every Lock() called it
is visible whether it failed or not. Unlock() call follows the same
output, even though unnecessary (the call cannot block).
Lock logging is disabled while logging because that would either
recurse or deadlock.
