liblockdep has been broken since commit 75dd602a51 ("lockdep: Fix
lock_chain::base size"), as that adds a check that MAX_LOCK_DEPTH is
within the range of lock_chain::depth and in liblockdep it is much
too large.
That should have resulted in a compiler error, but didn't because:
- the check uses ARRAY_SIZE(), which isn't yet defined in liblockdep
so is assumed to be an (undeclared) function
- putting a function call inside a BUILD_BUG_ON() expression quietly
turns it into some nonsense involving a variable-length array
It did produce a compiler warning, but I didn't notice because
liblockdep already produces too many warnings if -Wall is enabled
(which I'll fix shortly).
Even before that commit, which reduced lock_chain::depth from 8 bits
to 6, MAX_LOCK_DEPTH was too large.
