[PATCH 3/4] perf lock contention: Add --output option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Jun 28 2023 - 16:02:08 EST


To avoid formatting failures for example in CSV output due to debug
messages, add --output option to put the result in a file.
Unfortunately the short -o option was taken by the --owner already.

$ sudo ./perf lock con -ab --output lock-out.txt -v sleep 1
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
symsrc__init: cannot get elf header.
Using /proc/kcore for kernel data
Using /proc/kallsyms for symbols

$ head lock-out.txt
