perf-lock - Analyze lock events

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf lock' {record|report|script|info}

DESCRIPTION
-----------
You can analyze various lock behaviours
and statistics with this 'perf lock' command.

  'perf lock record <command>' records lock events
  between start and end <command>. And this command
  produces the file "perf.data" which contains tracing
  results of lock events.

  'perf lock report' reports statistical data.

  'perf lock script' shows raw lock events.

  'perf lock info' shows metadata like threads or addresses
  of lock instances.

COMMON OPTIONS
--------------

-i::
--input=<file>::
        Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)

-v::
--verbose::

-D::
--dump-raw-trace::
        Dump raw trace in ASCII.

-f::
--force::
	Don't complain, do it.

REPORT OPTIONS
--------------

-k::
--key=<value>::
        Sorting key. Possible values: acquired (default), contended,

-F::
--field=<value>::
        Output fields. By default it shows all the fields but users can
	customize that using this.  Possible values: acquired, contended,
	avg_wait, wait_total, wait_max, wait_min.

-c::
--combine-locks::
	Merge lock instances in the same class (based on name).

-t::
--threads::
    The -t option is to show per-thread lock stat like below:

      $ perf lock report -t -F acquired,contended,avg_wait
