Extend the existing hung_task detector test module to support multiple lock types, including mutex and semaphore, with room for future additions (e.g., spinlock, etc.). This module creates dummy files under <debugfs>/hung_task, such as 'mutex' and 'semaphore'. The read process on any of these files will sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding the respective lock. As a result, the second process will wait on the lock for a prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector. This change unifies the previous mutex-only sample into a single, extensible hung_task_tests module, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. Usage is: > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task > cat mutex & cat mutex # Test mutex blocking > cat semaphore & cat semaphore # Test semaphore blocking Update the Kconfig description to reflect multiple debugfs files support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
