/**
 * \file
 * Locks that are checked.
 *
 * Holds information per lock and per thread.
 * That information is protected by a mutex (unchecked).
 *
 * Checks:
 *      o which func, file, line created the lock.
 *      o contention count, measures amount of contention on the lock.
 *      o the memory region(s) that the lock protects are
 *        memcmp'ed to ascertain no race conditions.
 *      o checks that locks are unlocked properly (before deletion).
 *        keeps which func, file, line that locked it.
 *	o checks deadlocks with timeout so it can print errors for them.
 *
 * Limitations:
 *	o Detects unprotected memory access when the lock is locked or freed,
 *	  which detects races only if they happen, and only if in protected
 *	  memory areas.
 *	o Detects deadlocks by timeout, so approximately, as they happen.
 *	o Does not check order of locking.
 *	o Uses a lot of memory.
 *	o The checks use locks themselves, changing scheduling,
 *	  thus changing what races you see.
