[PATCH RESEND] perf lock contention: Account contending locks too

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Feb 09 2024 - 18:07:12 EST


Currently it accounts the contention using delta between timestamps in
lock:contention_begin and lock:contention_end tracepoints. But it means
the lock should see the both events during the monitoring period.

Actually there are 4 cases that happen with the monitoring:

monitoring period
/ \
| |
1: B------+-----------------------+--------E
2: B----+-------------E |
3: | B-----------+----E
4: | B-------------E |
| |
t0 t1

where B and E mean contention BEGIN and END, respectively. So it only
accounts the case 4 for now. It seems there's no way to handle the case
1. The case 2 might be handled if it saved the timestamp (t0), but it
lacks the information from the B notably the flags which shows the lock
types. Also it could be a nested lock which it currently ignores. So
I think we should ignore the case 2.

However we can handle the case 3 if we save the timestamp (t1) at the
end of the period. And then it can iterate the map entries in the
userspace and update the lock stat accordinly.
