Subject[PATCH 2/2] perf lock contention: Show detail failure reason for BPF
Date
It can fail to collect lock stat from BPF for various reasons.  For
example, I've got a report that sometimes time calculation seems wrong
in case of contended spinlocks. I suspect the time delta went negative
for some reason.

Count them separately and show in the output like below:

$ sudo perf lock contention -abE5 sleep 10
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

13 785.61 us 79.36 us 60.43 us spinlock remove_wait_queue+0x14
10 469.02 us 87.51 us 46.90 us spinlock prepare_to_wait+0x27
9 289.09 us 69.08 us 32.12 us spinlock finish_wait+0x36
114 251.05 us 8.56 us 2.20 us spinlock try_to_wake_up+0x1f5
132 188.63 us 5.01 us 1.43 us spinlock __wake_up_common_lock+0x62

=== output for debug ===

bad: 1, total: 279
bad rate: 0.36 %
histogram of failure reasons
task: 1
stack: 0
time: 0
