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 ... 16344 312.30 ms 2.22 ms 19.11 us ffff8cc702595640 17686 310.08 ms 1.49 ms 17.53 us ffff8cc7025952c0 3 84.14 ms 45.79 ms 28.05 ms ffff8cc78114c478 mmap_lock 3557 76.80 ms 68.75 us 21.59 us ffff8cc77ca3af58 1 68.27 ms 68.27 ms 68.27 ms ffff8cda745dfd70 9 54.53 ms 7.96 ms 6.06 ms ffff8cc7642a48b8 mmap_lock 14629 44.01 ms 60.00 us 3.01 us ffff8cc7625f9ca0 3481 42.63 ms 140.71 us 12.24 us ffffffff937906ac vmap_area_lock 16194 38.73 ms 42.15 us 2.39 us ffff8cd397cbc560 11 38.44 ms 10.39 ms 3.49 ms ffff8ccd6d12fbb8 mmap_lock 1 5.43 ms 5.43 ms 5.43 ms ffff8cd70018f0d8 1674 5.38 ms 422.93 us 3.21 us ffffffff92e06080 tasklist_lock 581 4.51 ms 130.68 us 7.75 us ffff8cc9b1259058 5 3.52 ms 1.27 ms 703.23 us ffff8cc754510070 112 3.47 ms 56.47 us 31.02 us ffff8ccee38b3120 381 3.31 ms 73.44 us 8.69 us ffffffff93790690 purge_vmap_area_lock 255 3.19 ms 36.35 us 12.49 us ffff8d053ce30c80 Note that mmap_lock was renamed some time ago and it needs to support old kernels with a different name 'mmap_sem'.
