Namhyung Kim 3ace2435bb perf lock contention: Track and show mmap_lock with address
Sometimes there are severe contentions on the mmap_lock and we want
see it in the -l/--lock-addr output.  However it cannot symbolize
the mmap_lock because it's allocated dynamically without symbols.

Stephane and Hao gave me an idea separately to display mmap_lock by
following the current->mm pointer.  I added a flag to mark mmap_lock
after comparing the lock address so that it can show them differently.
With this change it can show mmap_lock like below:

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- sleep 10
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait            address   symbol

Note that mmap_lock was renamed some time ago and it needs to support
old kernels with a different name 'mmap_sem'.

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 Restructured Text 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.
