[PATCH 3/5] perf lock: Handle lock contention tracepoints

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Jun 03 2022 - 19:57:27 EST


When the lock contention events are used, there's no tracking of
acquire and release. So the state machine is simplified to use
UNINITIALIZED -> CONTENDED -> ACQUIRED only.

Note that CONTENDED state is re-entrant since mutex locks can hit two
or more consecutive contention_begin events for optimistic spinning
and sleep.
