Subject: [PATCH 3/4] perf lock contention: Allow to change stack depth and skip
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
12 580.28 us spinlock __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
32 715.45 us spinlock folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave+0x61
26 550.22 us spinlock folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave+0x61
15 486.93 us rwsem:R mmap_read_lock+0x13
12 139.66 us rwsem:W vm_mmap_pgoff+0x93
1 7.04 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
