Namhyung Kim 0c631ef07c perf lock contention: Resolve slab object name using BPF
The bpf_get_kmem_cache() kfunc can return an address of the slab cache
(kmem_cache).  As it has the name of the slab cache from the iterator,
we can use it to symbolize some dynamic kernel locks in a slab.

Before:
  root@virtme-ng:/home/namhyung/project/linux# tools/perf/perf lock con -abl sleep 1

Note that the name starts with '&' sign for slab objects to inform they
are dynamic locks.  It won't give the accurate lock or type names but
it's still useful.  We may add type info to the slab cache later to get
the exact name of the lock in the type later.

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 reStructuredText 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.
