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 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git Thanks, Namhyung Namhyung Kim (6): perf lock contention: Factor out lock_type_table perf lock contention: Add -Y/--type-filter option perf lock contention: Support lock type filtering for BPF perf lock contention: Add -L/--lock-filter option perf lock contention: Support lock addr/name filtering for BPF perf test: Update perf lock contention test tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt | 27 +- tools/perf/builtin-lock.c | 305 ++++++++++++++++-- tools/perf/tests/shell/lock_contention.sh | 58 +++- tools/perf/util/bpf_lock_contention.c | 55 +++- .../perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c | 38 ++- tools/perf/util/lock-contention.h | 10 + 6 files changed, 451 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) base-commit: 51c4f2bf5397b34b79a6712221606e0ab2e6f7ed -- 2.39.0.314.g84b9a713c41-goog
