The perf lock contention program currently shows the caller of the locks
as __traceiter_contention_begin+0x??. This caller can be ignored, as it is
from the traceiter itself. Instead, it should show the real callers for
the locks.
When fiddling with the --stack-skip parameter, the actual callers for
the locks start to show up. However, just ignore the
__traceiter_contention_begin and the __traceiter_contention_end symbols
so the actual callers will show up.
Before this patch is applied:
sudo perf lock con -a -b -- sleep 3
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

Testing it on the ARM64 board sometimes also show that
trace_contention_begin+0x84, maybe we need to skip that one as well?

I can skip trace_contention_begin and trace_contention_end as well.
Question: I have 1409 __traceiter symbols on my kernel build, should we
ignore them all? Or is __traceiter_contention_begin and
__traceiter_contention_end the only ones that concern the lock contention?
cat /proc/kallsyms | grep -P '\b__traceiter*' | wc -l

Currently it's only __traceiter_contention_begin, we don't collect
stacktrace at contention_end for now. Also we cannot guarantee
if __traceiter_contention_end is right after the contention_begin
so I think you should use sym->end of the contention_begin for
text_end.
And, traceiter functions don't belong to their own section so the
comment should be removed. But I hope we can move them to
a section to make things clearer. :)
Thanks,
