The struct zone is embedded in struct pglist_data which can be allocated
for each NUMA node early in the boot process. As it's not a slab object
nor a global lock, this was not symbolized.
Since the zone->lock is often contended, it'd be nice if we can
symbolize it. On NUMA systems, node_data array will have pointers for
struct pglist_data. By following the pointer, it can calculate the
address of each zone and its lock using BTF. On UMA, it can just use
contig_page_data and its zones.
The following example shows the zone lock contention at the end.
$ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -E 5 -- ./perf bench sched messaging

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
