Subject: [RFC/PATCH] perf lock contention: Add -o/--lock-owner option
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 meaninigs. 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.
$ sudo ./perf lock con -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

1 8.25 us 8.25 us 8.25 us 1583144 sched-pipe
1 2.03 us 2.03 us 2.03 us 5068 chrome
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.
