We currently only provide points that have to wait on contention, also
lists the points we have to wait for.

Some recent modification to this code made me notice the little todo mark.
Now that we have more elaborate 64-bit division functions this isn't hard.

Fix rounding error in /proc/lock_stat numerical output.

On occasion the two digit fractional part contains the three
digit value '100'.  This is due to a bug in the rounding algorithm
which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than
to '00' + an increment to the integer part.  For example,

	- 123456.100      old display
	+ 123457.00	  new display

<title>lockdep: fix combinatorial explosion in lock subgraph traversal</title>

When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we
are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere
in a node reachable in the graph.

Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more
than once to get a correct answer to the given query.

Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we
need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before
doing a traversal.  A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and
we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked
with the new value yet.

This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count
systems.  The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take
two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of
backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes.
Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on
a runqueue lock can take up to (1 &lt;&lt; (N - 1)) checks on a system
with N cpus.

For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring
the machine to a complete standstill.

The key instead of address of lock_class should be output in
/proc/lockdep when forward dependency is output, because key is
output for lock_class itself as identifier too.

This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree, and has
been tested on x86_64 platform.
