[PATCH 0/6] perf lock contention: Add more filter options (v1)

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

This patchset adds a couple of filters to perf lock contention command.

The -Y/--type-filter is to filter by lock types like spinlock or mutex.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab -Y spinlock -E 3 -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.167 [sec]
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

          11    669.31 us    107.17 us     60.85 us     spinlock   remove_wait_queue+0x14
          10    586.85 us     87.62 us     58.68 us     spinlock   prepare_to_wait+0x27
         186    497.36 us     12.94 us      2.67 us     spinlock   try_to_wake_up+0x1f5

For the same workload, you can see the rwlock results only like below.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab -Y rwlock -E 3 -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.171 [sec]
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

          20    142.11 us     17.10 us      7.11 us     rwlock:W   do_exit+0x36d
           3     26.49 us     12.04 us      8.83 us     rwlock:W   release_task+0x6e
           5     12.46 us      5.12 us      2.49 us     rwlock:R   do_wait+0x8b

The -L/--lock-filter is to filter by lock address or name.  You can use
the existing -l/--lock-addr option to get the info.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- ./perf bench sched messaging 2>&1 | grep tasklist_lock
          25     39.78 us     16.51 us      1.59 us   ffffffff9d006080   tasklist_lock

And use it with -L option like below.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab -L tasklist_lock -- ./perf bench sched messaging 2>&1
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.174 [sec]
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

          22    227.18 us     24.16 us     10.33 us     rwlock:W   do_exit+0x36d
           3     26.12 us     18.03 us      8.71 us     rwlock:W   release_task+0x6e

Passing the address is supported too.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab -L ffffffff9d006080 -- ./perf bench sched messaging 2>&1
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

       Total time: 0.190 [sec]
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

          28    276.62 us     16.90 us      9.88 us     rwlock:W   do_exit+0x36d
           4     22.36 us      7.04 us      5.59 us     rwlock:R   do_wait+0x8b
           2     10.51 us      5.38 us      5.25 us     rwlock:W   release_task+0x6e

You can get it from 'perf/lock-filter-v1' branch in
