perf lock contention: Add -Y/--type-filter option
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. $ sudo ./perf lock record -a -- ./perf bench sched messaging $ sudo ./perf lock con -E 5 -Y spinlock contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller 802 1.26 ms 11.73 us 1.58 us spinlock __wake_up_common_lock+0x62 13 787.16 us 105.44 us 60.55 us spinlock remove_wait_queue+0x14 12 612.96 us 78.70 us 51.08 us spinlock prepare_to_wait+0x27 114 340.68 us 12.61 us 2.99 us spinlock try_to_wake_up+0x1f5 83 226.38 us 9.15 us 2.73 us spinlock folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave+0x5e Committer notes: Make get_type_flag() return UINT_MAX for error instad of -1UL, as that function returns 'unsigned int' and we store the value on a 'unsigned int' 'flags' variable which makes clang unhappy: 35 98.23 fedora:37 : FAIL clang version 15.0.6 (Fedora 15.0.6-1.fc37) builtin-lock.c:2012:14: error: result of comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with expression of type 'unsigned int' is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] if (flags != -1UL) { ~~~~~ ^ ~~~~ builtin-lock.c:2021:14: error: result of comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with expression of type 'unsigned int' is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] if (flags != -1UL) { ~~~~~ ^ ~~~~ builtin-lock.c:2037:14: error: result of comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with expression of type 'unsigned int' is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] if (flags != -1UL) { ~~~~~ ^ ~~~~ 3 errors generated.
