perf lock contention: Show detail failure reason for BPF
It can fail to collect lock stat from BPF for various reasons. For example, I've got a report that sometimes time calculation seems wrong in case of contended spinlocks. I suspect the time delta went negative for some reason. Count them separately and show in the output like below: $ sudo perf lock contention -abE5 sleep 10 contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller 13 785.61 us 79.36 us 60.43 us spinlock remove_wait_queue+0x14 10 469.02 us 87.51 us 46.90 us spinlock prepare_to_wait+0x27 9 289.09 us 69.08 us 32.12 us spinlock finish_wait+0x36 114 251.05 us 8.56 us 2.20 us spinlock try_to_wake_up+0x1f5 132 188.63 us 5.01 us 1.43 us spinlock __wake_up_common_lock+0x62 === output for debug === bad: 1, total: 279 bad rate: 0.36 % histogram of failure reasons task: 1 stack: 0 time: 0 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Hao Luo <haoluo@google.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: bpf@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230327225711.245738-1-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
