Currently it accounts the contention using delta between timestamps in
lock:contention_begin and lock:contention_end tracepoints. But it means
the lock should see the both events during the monitoring period.
Actually there are 4 cases that happen with the monitoring:
monitoring period
/ \
| |
1: B------+-----------------------+--------E
2: B----+-------------E |
3: | B-----------+----E
4: | B-------------E |
| |
t0 t1
where B and E mean contention BEGIN and END, respectively. So it only
accounts the case 4 for now. It seems there's no way to handle the case
1. The case 2 might be handled if it saved the timestamp (t0), but it
lacks the information from the B notably the flags which shows the lock
types. Also it could be a nested lock which it currently ignores. So
I think we should ignore the case 2.
However we can handle the case 3 if we save the timestamp (t1) at the
end of the period. And then it can iterate the map entries in the
userspace and update the lock stat accordinly.

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.
