It'd be useful to filter other than the current aggregation mode. For
example, users may want to see callstacks for specific locks only. Or
they may want tasks from a certain callstack.
The tracepoints already collected the information but it needs to check
the condition again when processing the event. And it needs to change
BPF to allow the key combinations.
The lock contentions on 'rcu_state' spinlock can be monitored:
$ sudo perf lock con -abv -L rcu_state sleep 1
...
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

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.
