27Every caller to using kernel's mutex is displayed on every line.
28
29First portion of lines show the lock acquiring data, showing the
30amount of time it took to acquired given lock.
31
32 'Caller' - symbol acquiring the mutex
33 'Average Spin' - average time to acquire the mutex
34 'Count' - number of times mutex was acquired
35 'Max spin' - maximum time to acquire the mutex
36 'Total spin' - total time spent in acquiring the mutex
37
38Second portion of lines show the lock holding data, showing the
39amount of time it took to hold given lock.
40
41 'Caller' - symbol holding the mutex
42 'Average Hold' - average time mutex was held
43 'Count' - number of times mutex was held
44 'Max hold' - maximum time mutex was held
45 'Total hold' - total time spent in holding the mutex
46
47This works by tracing mutex_lock/unlock kprobes, updating the
48lock stats in maps and processing them in the python part.

51An -i option can be used to display stats in interval (5 seconds in example below):
