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/locking/lockdep-design.rst).
The graph below shows the relation between the lock functions and the various
hooks therein::
__acquire
|
lock _____
| \
| __contended
| |
| <wait>
| _______/
|/
|
__acquired
|
.
<hold>
.
|
__release
|
unlock
lock, unlock - the regular lock functions
__* - 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
avg
- average time spent 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
avg
- average time this lock was held
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::
( line numbers not part of actual output, done for clarity in the explanation
below )
# less /proc/lock_stat

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.
Lines 09-12 show the first 4 recorded contention points (the code
which tries to get the lock) and lines 14-17 show the first 4 recorded
contended points (the lock holder). It is possible that the max
con-bounces point is missing in the statistics.
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.
