[PATCHSET 0/7] perf lock: New lock contention tracepoints support (v3)

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Hello,

Kernel v5.19 will have a new set of tracepoints to track lock
contentions for various lock types.  Unlike tracepoints in LOCKDEP and
LOCK_STAT, it's hit only for contended locks and lock names are not
available.  So it needs to collect stack traces and display the caller
function instead.

Changes in v3)
 * fix build error
 * support data from different kernels/machines
 * skip bad stat unless there's actual bad ones
 
Changes in v2)
 * add Acked-by from Ian
 * print time with a unit for compact output
 * add some comments  (Ian)
 * remove already applied patch
 
This patchset merely adds support for the new tracepoints to the
existing perf lock commands.  So there's no change to the user.  Later
I'll add new a sub-command dedicated to the tracepoints to make use of
the additional information.

Example output:

  $ sudo perf lock record -a sleep 3

  $ perf lock report -F acquired,contended,avg_wait,wait_total

                  Name   acquired  contended     avg wait    total wait

   update_blocked_a...         40         40      3.61 us     144.45 us
   kernfs_fop_open+...          5          5      3.64 us      18.18 us
    _nohz_idle_balance          3          3      2.65 us       7.95 us
   tick_do_update_j...          1          1      6.04 us       6.04 us
    ep_scan_ready_list          1          1      3.93 us       3.93 us
  ...

You can find the code in the 'perf/lock-contention-v3' branch at
