2 | LOCK STATISTICS | |
3 | ||
4 | - WHAT | |
5 | ||
6 | As the name suggests, it provides statistics on locks. | |
7 | ||
8 | - WHY | |
9 | ||
10 | Because things like lock contention can severely impact performance. | |
11 | ||
12 | - HOW | |
13 | ||
14 | Lockdep already has hooks in the lock functions and maps lock instances to | |
f62508f6 JL |
15 | lock classes. We build on that (see Documentation/lockdep-design.txt). |
16 | The graph below shows the relation between the lock functions and the various | |
17 | hooks therein. | |

37 | unlock | |
38 | ||
39 | lock, unlock - the regular lock functions | |
40 | __* - the hooks | |
41 | <> - states | |
42 | ||
43 | With these hooks we provide the following statistics: | |
44 | ||
45 | con-bounces - number of lock contention that involved x-cpu data | |
46 | contentions - number of lock acquisitions that had to wait | |
47 | wait time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock | |
48 | max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock | |
1232e380 DB |
49 | total - total time we spend waiting on this lock |
50 | avg - average time spent waiting on this lock | |
a560aa48 PZ |
51 | acq-bounces - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data |
52 | acquisitions - number of times we took the lock | |
53 | hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock | |
1232e380 DB |
54 | max - longest time we ever held the lock |
55 | total - total time this lock was held | |
56 | avg - average time this lock was held | |
a560aa48 PZ |
57 | |
58 | These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when | |
59 | applicable). | |
60 | ||
61 | It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site | |
62 | that had to wait on lock acquisition. | |

118 | This excerpt shows the first two lock class statistics. Line 01 shows the | |
119 | output version - each time the format changes this will be updated. Line 02-04 | |
c7e78cff | 120 | show the header with column descriptions. Lines 05-18 and 20-31 show the actual |
a560aa48 | 121 | statistics. These statistics come in two parts; the actual stats separated by a |
c7e78cff | 122 | short separator (line 08, 13) from the contention points. |
a560aa48 | 123 | |
c7e78cff | 124 | The first lock (05-18) is a read/write lock, and shows two lines above the |
a560aa48 | 125 | short separator. The contention points don't match the column descriptors, |
c7e78cff PZ |
126 | they have two: contentions and [<IP>] symbol. The second set of contention |
127 | points are the points we're contending with. | |
a560aa48 | 128 | |
cdad7220 | 129 | The integer part of the time values is in us. |

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