[PATCHSET 0/5] perf lock: Add contention subcommand (v2)

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Jul 25 2022 - 14:31:31 EST


Hello,

It's to add a new subcommand 'contention' (shortly 'con') to perf lock.

Changes in v2)
* bugfix is merged already
* fix build error in patch 2

The new subcommand is to handle the new lock:contention_{begin,end}
tracepoints and shows lock type and caller address like below:

$ perf lock contention
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

238 1.41 ms 29.20 us 5.94 us spinlock update_blocked_averages+0x4c
1 902.08 us 902.08 us 902.08 us rwsem:R do_user_addr_fault+0x1dd
81 330.30 us 17.24 us 4.08 us spinlock _nohz_idle_balance+0x172
2 89.54 us 61.26 us 44.77 us spinlock do_anonymous_page+0x16d
24 78.36 us 12.27 us 3.27 us mutex pipe_read+0x56
2 71.58 us 59.56 us 35.79 us spinlock __handle_mm_fault+0x6aa
6 25.68 us 6.89 us 4.28 us spinlock do_idle+0x28d
1 18.46 us 18.46 us 18.46 us rtmutex exec_fw_cmd+0x21b
3 15.25 us 6.26 us 5.08 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x2c
...

where rwsem:R stands for read access (down_read) for a rw-semaphore.
Other types of lock access is obvious and it doesn't detect optimistic
spinning on mutex yet. This is just a base work for lock contention
analysis and more will come later.

You can get this from 'perf/lock-subcmd-v2' branch on

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung
