Namhyung Kim c940fa276b perf lock contention: Increase default stack skip to 4
In most configurations, it works well with skipping 4 entries by
default.  If some systems still have 3 BPF internal stack frames,
the next frame should be in a lock function which will be skipped
later when it tries to find a caller.  So increasing to 4 won't
affect such systems too.

With --stack-skip=0, I can see something like this:

    24     49.84 us      7.41 us      2.08 us        mutex   bpf_prog_e1b85959d520446c_contention_begin+0x12e

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.
