perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt, so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'. Fixing command-list.txt requires document (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt). But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now. And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

You can analyze lock events with "perf lock", subcommand of perf.
|
||||
If you want to use "perf lock", you need to turn on CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING.
|

|

CONFIG_LOCK_STAT defines "contended" and "acquired" lock events.

(CONFIG_LOCKDEP defines "acquire" and "release" events.)

perf-lock - Analyze lock events

|

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 trace' shows raw lock events.
|
||||
|
||||
'perf lock report' reports statistical data.
