LOCK STATISTICS
- WHAT
As the name suggests, it provides statistics on locks.
- WHY
Because things like lock contention can severely impact performance.
- HOW
Lockdep already has hooks in the lock functions and maps lock instances to
lock classes. We build on that (see Documentation/lockdep-design.txt).
The graph below shows the relation between the lock functions and the various
hooks therein.

__* - the hooks
<> - states
With these hooks we provide the following statistics:
con-bounces - number of lock contention that involved x-cpu data
contentions - number of lock acquisitions that had to wait
wait time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock
max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
total - total time we spend waiting on this lock
acq-bounces - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data
acquisitions - number of times we took the lock
hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
max - longest time we ever held the lock
total - total time this lock was held
From these number various other statistics can be derived, such as:
hold time average = hold time total / acquisitions
These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
applicable).
It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site
that had to wait on lock acquisition.
- CONFIGURATION
Lock statistics are enabled via CONFIG_LOCK_STAT.
- USAGE
Enable collection of statistics:
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
Disable collection of statistics:
# echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
Look at the current lock statistics:

This excerpt shows the first two lock class statistics. Line 01 shows the
output version - each time the format changes this will be updated. Line 02-04
show the header with column descriptions. Lines 05-18 and 20-31 show the actual
statistics. These statistics come in two parts; the actual stats separated by a
short separator (line 08, 13) from the contention points.
The first lock (05-18) is a read/write lock, and shows two lines above the
short separator. The contention points don't match the column descriptors,
they have two: contentions and [<IP>] symbol. The second set of contention
points are the points we're contending with.
The integer part of the time values is in us.
Dealing with nested locks, subclasses may appear:

Line 48 shows statistics for the second subclass (/1) of &rq->lock class
(subclass starts from 0), since in this case, as line 50 suggests,
double_rq_lock actually acquires a nested lock of two spinlocks.
