It can fail to collect lock stat from BPF for various reasons. For
example, I've got a report that sometimes time calculation seems wrong
in case of contended spinlocks. I suspect the time delta went negative
for some reason.

When there're many lock contentions in the system, people sometimes want
to know who caused the contention, IOW who's the owner of the locks.
The -o/--lock-owner option tries to follow the lock owners for the
contended mutexes and rwsems from BPF, and then attributes the
contention time to the owner instead of the waiter. It's a best effort
approach to get the owner info at the time of the contention and doesn't
guarantee to have the precise tracking of owners if it's changing over
time.
Currently it only handles mutex and rwsem that have owner field in their
struct and it basically points to a task_struct that owns the lock at
the moment.
Technically its type is atomic_long_t and it comes with some LSB bits
used for other meanings. So it needs to clear them when casting it to a
pointer to task_struct.
Also the atomic_long_t is a typedef of the atomic 32 or 64 bit types
depending on arch which is a wrapper struct for the counter value. I'm
not aware of proper ways to access those kernel atomic types from BPF so
I just read the internal counter value directly. Please let me know if
there's a better way.
When -o/--lock-owner option is used, it goes to the task aggregation
mode like -t/--threads option does. However it cannot get the owner for
other lock types like spinlock and sometimes even for mutex.

As you can see, the owner is unknown for the most cases. But if we
filter only for the mutex locks, it'd more likely get the onwers.

It'd be useful to filter other than the current aggregation mode. For
example, users may want to see callstacks for specific locks only. Or
they may want tasks from a certain callstack.
The tracepoints already collected the information but it needs to check
the condition again when processing the event. And it needs to change
BPF to allow the key combinations.
The lock contentions on 'rcu_state' spinlock can be monitored:

This is a preparation work to support complex keys of BPF maps. Now it
has single value key according to the aggregation mode like stack_id or
pid. But we want to use a combination of those keys.
Then lock_contention_read() should still aggregate the result based on
the key that was requested by user. The other key info will be used for
filtering.
So instead of creating a lock_stat entry always, Check if it's already
there using lock_stat_find() first.

The -S/--callstack-filter is to limit display entries having the given

The following example shows lock contention results if the callstack
has 'net' substring somewhere. Note that the caller '__dev_queue_xmit'
does not match to it, but it has 'inet6_csk_xmit' in the callstack.
This applies even if you don't use -v option to show the full callstack.

The -Y/--type-filter option is to filter the result for specific lock
types only. It can accept comma-separated values. Note that it would
accept type names like one in the output. spinlock, mutex, rwsem:R and
so on.
For RW-variant lock types, it converts the name to the both variants.
In other words, "rwsem" is same as "rwsem:R,rwsem:W". Also note that
"mutex" has two different encoding - one for sleeping wait, another for
optimistic spinning. Add "mutex-spin" entry for the lock_type_table so
that we can add it for "mutex" under the table.

This makes those 4 global variables for sched and lock text start and

In most configurations, it works well with skipping 4 entries by
default. If some systems still have 3 BPF internal stack frames,
the next frame should be in a lock function which will be skipped
later when it tries to find a caller. So increasing to 4 won't
affect such systems too.
With --stack-skip=0, I can see something like this:

It needs stack traces to find callers of locks. To minimize the
performance overhead it only collects up to 8 entries for each stack
trace. And it skips first 3 entries as they came from BPF, tracepoint
and lock functions which are not interested for most users.
But it turned out that those numbers are different in some
configuration. Using fixed number can result in non meaningful caller
names. Let's make them adjustable with --stack-depth and --skip-stack
options.
On my setup, the default output is like below:
# /perf lock con -ab -F contended,wait_total sleep 3
contended total wait type caller
28 4.55 ms rwlock:W __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
33 1.67 ms rwlock:W __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb

60 240.54 us rwsem:R __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
27 64.45 us spinlock __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
If I change the stack skip to 5, the result will be like:
# perf lock con -ab -F contended,wait_total --stack-skip 5 sleep 3
contended total wait type caller

Currently it shows a caller function for each entry, but users need to see
the full call stacks sometimes. Use -v/--verbose option to do that.
# perf lock con -a -b -v sleep 3

Like the normal 'perf lock contention' output, it'd print the number of
lost entries for BPF if exists or -v option is passed.
Currently it uses BROKEN_CONTENDED stat for the lost count (due to full
stack maps).
$ sudo perf lock con -a -b --map-nr-entries 128 sleep 5

The --map-nr-entries option is to control number of max entries in the
perf lock contention BPF maps.

The lock_contention struct is to carry related fields together and to
minimize the change when we add new config options.

Add -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu options for cpu filtering. Also -p/--pid
and --tid options are added for task filtering. The short -t option is
taken for --threads already. Tracking the command line workload is
possible as well.

Add -b/--use-bpf option to use BPF to collect lock contention stats.
For simplicity it now runs system-wide and requires C-c to stop.
Upcoming changes will add the usual filtering.
